228 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

228 Atlantic Avenue is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Boerum Hill, built in 1910 and currently owned by Margaret Brunn. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past seven years, with the most recent concerns in 2023 including door/window problems and heating issues, both of which were investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. There were significant concerns about heat and hot water access in July 2018 when inspectors were unable to access the building for evaluation, along with a cooking gas complaint during the same period.

The building's infrastructure has shown periodic maintenance needs, with a violation in February 2023 regarding a key-operated fire escape door lock in Apartment 2 that was certified for correction in March 2023. Historical records show various violations from 2010 related to fire egress issues and scuttle opening hazards on the roof, as well as a 2017 violation concerning window guards in Apartment 3. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in any units since 2019.

Rodent-related issues have been addressed, with inspections in 2019 and 2010 showing different results - one passed inspection and the other indicated rat activity. In 2025, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building had one violation issued in June 2023 related to an unfiled 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this violation was dismissed in February 2025. While there have been multiple service requests and violations over the years, most have been resolved through appropriate channels, though some access issues have prevented full investigation of problems when they first occurred.
