324 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, three-unit building at 324 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, owned by Josephine Gentile, has experienced several notable issues since 2020, with the most significant concerns centering around pest control and safety compliance. In September 2020, the building faced multiple violations related to pest infestations, including documented mouse problems in the third-floor apartment and repeated complaints about unsanitary conditions.

These pest-related issues prompted two official complaints (one in September and another in October 2020) and resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring annual bedbug reporting, though the bedbug-related violations from 2021-2023 appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug filings showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units between 2020-2025. The building also accumulated several open violations related to safety requirements in September 2020, including the need to post various safety notices in common areas. These violations involved requirements to display information about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and to maintain a proper building inspection certificate display.

Additionally, there were safety concerns noted regarding building security during power outages. While many of these safety violations were documented as "A" Class violations (indicating relatively lower severity), their cumulative nature suggests a period of significant maintenance challenges. As of the current date in 2025, the building's record shows improved conditions regarding pest control, with no reported issues in the past three years, and the bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met, with all recent filings showing zero infestation counts.
