99 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

99 Atlantic Avenue is a historic 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights and owned by Matthew Lonuzzi. Built in 1856, the property has recent records showing several maintenance and compliance issues. Notably, in late 2018, the building faced significant fire safety violations related to the sprinkler system, with inspectors observing its unauthorized removal from all floors, along with additional unauthorized construction of office space in the cellar.

These violations were officially resolved, though they resulted in a $1,250 penalty. More recent history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, when the building experienced rodent issues, prompting multiple DOHMH inspections and the application of bait in several instances. The property also faced garbage storage concerns in 2022, which were investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. In 2023, two violations were issued regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports from 2019 and 2021, though these violations were subsequently dismissed.

Importantly, records show no bedbug infestations reported in the building from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The building's maintenance history includes a 2019 violation for inadequate entrance lighting, though this was eventually closed. While the property has had its share of compliance issues over the years, particularly regarding safety systems in 2018, recent records show relatively fewer major violations, with the most recent issues primarily related to administrative matters rather than active safety concerns. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of most violations and the regular submission of bedbug reports showing no infestations.
