2270 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 2270 Atlantic Avenue building is a two-story, three-unit old law tenement built in 1901 and currently owned by Josh Shine. Recent inspections and violations from 2023-2024 reveal several significant maintenance concerns, including a defective fire escape staircase tread, overgrown rear yard vegetation, an illegal roof scuttle lock, and obstructed fire escape egress from the second-story balcony.

There were also critical issues identified in 2023 regarding raw sewage in the cellar and lack of hot water throughout all apartments, though these violations were subsequently corrected. The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, with multiple 311 complaints and HPD inspections between 2020-2022, particularly relating to rodent activity and general unsanitary conditions, though currently being reported as bedbug-free as of the 2024 filing. The property has experienced recurring plumbing, electrical, and door/window maintenance issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in late 2022 regarding these systems, though most were resolved promptly.

The building's history shows consistent monitoring of rodent activity, with inspections and baiting efforts documented from 2010 through at least 2023. Two complaints regarding work without permits were filed in mid-2023, including electrical wiring and plumbing work, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While the building appears to be actively maintaining compliance with most recent violations and submitting regular bedbug reports showing no current infestations, the pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building systems and pest management is required.
