142 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

142 Atlantic Avenue, a 4-story, 3-unit brick tenement built in 1852 in Cobble Hill, is currently facing several regulatory challenges with both housing maintenance and building code compliance. The property, owned by New Atlantic Partnership, has persistent open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though it is worth noting that the 2020 reporting period indicated no bedbug infestations in any of the units.

More recently, in 2024, the building has encountered significant issues related to an unauthorized business sign installation, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a substantial penalty of $6,250 for an electric sign measuring 20ft x 2ft that was erected without proper permits. The building's maintenance record shows some resolution of issues, as indicated by the closure of a bedbug report violation from 2021, and a 2024 complaint regarding an illegal business awning was inspected and resulted in an OATH violation being served.

Additionally, there is an active violation as of April 2023 concerning the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection report. While these violations do not immediately indicate a direct threat to resident safety, they reflect ongoing compliance challenges that could potentially impact resident experience, particularly regarding building maintenance and the presence of commercial activities.
