284 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

284 Atlantic Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Boerum Hill and owned by Stuart Venner. The 1910 building has exhibited recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints registered between 2022 and 2025, most recently in April 2025, which remains open.

These complaints have frequently resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to perform necessary inspections. The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from May 2024, including issues with self-closing doors in various locations (at the entrance to Apt 3A, the vestibule at the 1st story, and the bulkhead at the 4th story), as well as concerns about excessively hot water temperatures in Apt 3A. Additional recent violations from October 2023 indicate problems with smoke detector functionality in Apt 3B, inadequate hot water supply in Apt 3B, and a reported mouse infestation in that same apartment.

The building's management has faced regulatory scrutiny, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order and failure to file a certificate of correction related to work performed in the ground floor commercial space (Reedchy Nail Salon) in 2021, with associated penalties totaling $7,500. While the building has consistently shown no bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods (2022-2025), past inspections in 2014 revealed rodent issues that required attention, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. The Department of Buildings has active jobs related to Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections as of 2021, which was completed with no enforcement action required in late 2022.
