1636 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1636 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Philip Mcpherson, was built in 1905 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns emerged in late 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions, including mold, door and window problems, and mailbox issues.
While these complaints were marked as "closed," the HPD was unable to complete inspections in all cases, and the resolutions indicated the need for new service requests if conditions persisted. The building is currently facing three open violations related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations dating back to inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though the building's bedbug history shows no reported infestations between late 2019 and 2020.
A rodent inspection in 2018 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that pest control measures were previously adequate. While the building is generally classified as an Old Law Tenement, the combination of recent complaints about various building systems and the open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
