500 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, two-family home at 500 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, owned by Baljeet Hira, has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past few years. The building, constructed in 1995, faced multiple heating and hot water problems in late 2022, with complaints filed on October 25 and November 21. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access the building for inspections in response to these complaints, which were subsequently closed.

Additionally, there were concerns about unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage during the same period, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. A safety-related complaint regarding the fire escape was filed in January 2022, though access for inspection was again not granted. More recent records indicate rodent control efforts in 2022-2023, with bait applied during multiple inspections between March 2022 and July 2023, though the building passed the initial inspection in both March 2022 and May 2023.

The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in January 2022 regarding egress concerns, but reported insufficient information or inability to locate the address. The only permit on record for the property is from November 2019 for an unspecified work type, which was issued and subsequently listed as completed. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, most have been addressed through inspections, even if no violations were found, and the frequency of rodent control measures appears to have decreased in recent months.
