1982 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1982 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Joe Epstein and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, recent inspections in April 2025 revealed multiple safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with reports of mold and pest infestations. These followed a pattern of similar complaints from 2023-2025, including emergency heat/hot water issues and ongoing pest problems, particularly with rodent activity as indicated by multiple inspections between 2019-2023.
The building's violation history shows persistent challenges with maintaining basic safety systems, evidenced by the 2025 violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and previous problems with heat and hot water systems documented in 2022-2023. The property has a documented history of bedbug-related violations in previous years, though recent filings from 2025 show no active infestations. Significant structural and safety concerns have also been noted, including a 2020 violation regarding an obstructed fire escape ladder that resulted in a $1,250 penalty, which remains active.
The building has undergone several inspections regarding illegal hotel room operations between 2020-2022, with inspectors unable to gain access during multiple attempts. Although some violations have been addressed and closed, including those related to documentation postings for smoke detector and carbon monoxide requirements, the recurring nature of many complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reports indicate zero affected units, though past inspections between 2019-2024 had shown previous issues with both pests and mold that required attention.
