2182 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 16-unit building at 2182 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by 2182 Atlantic Ave Hdfc, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2022. Most notably, from January 2024 through April 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent inspections in 2025 attempted to address heating issues and water leaks, but access to several units was denied, preventing proper evaluation of the conditions.

In addition to heating challenges, there are ongoing concerns with water supply and plumbing issues, as indicated by multiple complaints throughout 2024 and 2025. The building has also faced several infrastructure and safety issues, as evidenced by open violations from a November 2024 inspection. These include problems with light fixtures in public areas, fire retardant materials at various stairway ceilings, water leaks in the first-story public hall, and access issues to the heating system in the boiler room.

Rodent activity has been a recurring concern, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024 showing evidence of rat presence, though there have been some baiting efforts. The Department of Buildings records indicate multiple inspection access issues in 2021 related to potential illegal work and occupancy concerns, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. There are also several active DOB violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018-2023, which remain unresolved as of 2023.
