2288 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

2288 Atlantic Avenue is a 7-story, 22-unit residential building completed in 2017 and currently owned by Yaakov Blatter. The building has experienced recurring issues with door and window maintenance, particularly windows and door frames, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2025 that often resulted in closed cases where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspections. More seriously, there was a heavy water leak reported in October 2023 that led to violations, and as of June 2025, there have been heating and hot water issues affecting the entire building marked as immediate emergencies.

Apartment 7C has been the focus of several violations from late 2023, including problems with plastered surfaces, roof leaks, and defective safety equipment (smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors), as well as a mold issue that remains open. The elevator system has been a notable point of concern, with violations regarding maintenance and inspection access dating back to 2020, and multiple complaints in late 2023. Earlier violations include occupancy issues in 2018 where residents were found in units without valid certificates of occupancy, resulting in a significant fine.

The building's maintenance record shows reasonable rodent control, with inspections in 2022 and 2023 passing, though there were initial failures noted in 2015. Importantly, the building has maintained a good record with bedbug management, showing no infestations or need for eradication treatments in recent years (2021-2025). While there have been multiple housing maintenance code complaints, most have been resolved or closed without violations, though there are several cases where proper access for inspection was not granted.
