958 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 958 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Elliot Frankel and built in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, during 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding standing water on the roof, with six reports specifically about puddles, plus two related to roof gutters and one regarding mosquitoes, all of which were closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building also faced structural concerns in 2019-2021, including two Department of Buildings complaints about unauthorized construction work, with one describing an approximately 25x55-foot addition extending to the back property line. This construction issue led to Environmental Control Board violations in October 2019, though no penalties were imposed, and a violation for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation in November 2019, which was subsequently dismissed in January 2020. More recent records indicate improved conditions, with the building successfully passing rodent inspections in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past four years, with reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and the most recent reports from 2024-2025 continuing this trend. The building's annual bedbug reporting requirement was noted as violated in April 2021, but subsequent years have shown compliance with no infestations reported. The property currently appears to be in stable condition, with no recent complaints or violations on record, and has passed all recent rodent inspections while maintaining a zero infestation status for bedbugs.
