402 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 402 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1874, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the property faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2025 filing indicates no current infestations.

In December 2022, the building was issued Environmental Control Board violations related to fire escape access and window air conditioning unit problems, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for obstructing the fire escape with an air conditioning unit at the second floor level, though other related violations did not carry any penalties. The building's recent history shows improved pest management, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2020 passing without issues, though earlier inspections in 2014 revealed significant rat activity requiring bait application. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2024, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period.

A Department of Buildings inspection in 2023 noted a violation for failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous ECB violation, though this was later dismissed in October 2023. While there have been multiple maintenance violations over the past few years, including issues with building wall maintenance and unauthorized modifications, the current status shows fewer recent infractions, with most historical violations being addressed or dismissed. The building's ownership, under Anne Warren, has maintained records of both rodent and bedbug inspections, suggesting ongoing monitoring of pest control matters.
