131 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

This three-story, seven-unit old law tenement building in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Alberto Perez, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are current open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2019-2024, as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with multiple 311 complaints and inspection records between 2021-2023, though recent bait application inspections from 2023 indicate ongoing management of this issue.

There was a concerning drinking water complaint in 2022 that was investigated but resulted in no health code violations being found. The building's structural features have been subject to scrutiny, with a 2019 violation citing defective fire escape treads between the second and third stories and issues with a broken glass pane at the building entrance, though this was noted as a class B violation that was subsequently closed. Recent records show some ongoing maintenance attention being required, including a 2025 complaint regarding work without a permit, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.

The property also received a violation in 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection report. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted since 2021, passing initial inspections but requiring bait applications in recent years, with the most recent bait application occurring in February 2023. The building's health inspection history includes both inspections that passed and those requiring bait application, suggesting active management of pest control issues. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address the outstanding bedbug reporting violations and recent inspection requirements.
