515 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Located in Boerum Hill, 515 Atlantic Avenue is a three-story, 10-unit converted residential building owned by KASA 33, LLC, dating back to 1900. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent reports in 2025 and 2024 documenting unsanitary conditions related to pests, though no violations were found in the 2024 inspection.

A significant cluster of complaints in July 2022 drew attention to multiple maintenance issues, including pests, garbage/recycling storage problems, and the condition of stairs, walls, and electrical wiring, with some violations being issued. Recent maintenance concerns have centered around safety compliance, particularly in Apartment 9, where violations were documented in 2024 regarding a painted sprinkler head and missing carbon monoxide detectors. The building has three active DOB violations as of September 2024 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2021, and 2022.

While the property appears to have maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with all reports indicating zero infested units from 2020 to 2024, it experienced a short power outage in July 2022 and has had multiple pest-related complaints since then. The Department of Buildings conducted several inspections in recent years, with responses to complaints generally resulting in "No Violation Warranted" or "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" findings. It's noteworthy that historical records show the building passed rodent inspections in 2013 and 2018, and had previous violations related to a public hall refrigerator and heating system notice posting in 2019, both of which have since been closed.
