452 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 452 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, owned by Silvia Bravo, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2025 (including building-wide and apartment-specific issues), with similar problems documented consistently throughout 2023, particularly during the winter months.

The building has also faced rodent-related concerns in recent months, with complaints registered in May 2025, though recent inspections have passed with no violations noted. The property has active violations for the failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2021 and 2022, dating from April and June 2023.

Earlier violations in 2018 highlighted safety concerns, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3F, and an uncapped steam pipe in the first-story public hall. While the building maintained a zero-infestation record for bedbugs in its annual reports from 2019 through 2024, and inspections passed in 2025, the recurring heating system issues and recent rodent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of emergency complaints regarding heating systems, particularly during winter months, with ten such complaints recorded between 2022 and 2025, most of which were resolved with systems being restored, though some required multiple complaint filings to achieve resolution.
