334 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

At 334 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, this four-story, 14-unit old law tenement building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems. Between March and May 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with tenants frequently reporting that Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper investigations.

The building currently has several open violations from a November 2024 inspection, including concerns about roof leaks, fire safety materials, and mold in the first-floor public hall. Additionally, there are ongoing DOB violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections. The building's condition has raised multiple safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety compliance.

Open violations note problems with fire retardant materials on the first and fourth story public hall walls and ceilings, and a September 2024 violation indicates an obstruction of fire escapes involving a plant pot on the fourth story balcony. While a rodent inspection in May 2022 passed, an April 2022 inspection noted rat activity. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with water systems, as evidenced by the high volume of heat/hot water complaints in 2025.
