59 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

59 Atlantic Avenue is a historic 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Demetrios Yatrakis. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with five consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing no infestations in any units, with all "infested dwelling unit," "eradicated unit," and "re-infested dwelling unit" counts recorded as 0.

The most recent rodent inspection from February 2013 showed a "Passed" result, indicating no significant rodent problems at that time. However, the building currently faces several outstanding compliance issues with the Department of Buildings (DOB), with four active violations recorded in June 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. These violations, while not immediately impacting resident safety compared to pest or maintenance issues, indicate some lapses in required building system documentation.

The property has also recently faced a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2024 regarding the filing of an annual bedbug report, though this violation should be considered in light of the building's consistent history of pest-free status. While the building's historical records suggest generally good maintenance practices with respect to pest control and exterior maintenance, the recent violations regarding pressure system inspections and bedbug reporting requirements represent the most significant current compliance issues. However, it's worth noting that the property has maintained a stable unit count of 3 throughout its history, with no apparent changes to building use or structure since its construction.
