189 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201
189 Atlantic Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1899 in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by RAC Realty LLC. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over the past five years, with the most recent issues in 2025 including an unsanitary condition involving mold (June 2025) and a window frame problem (December 2024), both of which HPD was unable to inspect despite being reported as emergencies.
The building has a documented history of persistent maintenance issues dating back to 2018, including multiple instances of heat and hot water problems (2018), electrical outlet/switch issues (2019), plumbing problems (2019), and window frame concerns (2019), with several violations issued that remain open as of 2023 in Apartment 4A regarding electrical outlets, window repairs, and plumbing fixtures. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting since 2021, with all reports indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue. While rodent sightings were reported in December 2019 (with violations found) and October 2020 (compliance inspection passed), the building has maintained a clean record since then.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency complaints requiring HPD intervention, though not all inspections could be completed. Notably, there are two active bedbug-related violations as of 2023 regarding annual report filing requirements, and past violations from 2018 related to gas leak procedures and housing information notices also remain open. The building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with prompt response to tenant complaints and inspection access issues, particularly regarding unsanitary conditions and basic utilities.
