164 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

164 Atlantic Avenue is a four-story, 18-unit residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and owned by David Walentas. Built in 1859, this class A property has undergone several regulatory inspections and received various violations over the past years, with the most significant recent activity occurring in early 2025 involving three Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections that found no violations at the time of inspection.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its single elevator system, receiving violations in 2019, 2022, and most recently in December 2023, which included problems with door zone restrictors, cab lighting, and various safety features, resulting in penalties totaling $2,500. A notable December 2023 ECB violation was issued for unauthorized construction of a brick fence wall at the rear of the property, measuring approximately 8 feet by 50 feet, for which no penalties were imposed. The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any unit since the filing period starting in 2017-2018.

Historical inspection records indicate that many violations were addressed promptly, often through the involvement of KONE, a company associated with elevator systems, as evidenced in 2019 and 2020 violation dispositions. While the property has had its share of regulatory issues, particularly regarding elevator safety systems, recent inspections in 2025 showed no current violations, suggesting improved compliance with safety requirements. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past several reporting periods.
