2292 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, two-unit building at 2292 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Cheryl Ighodaro, has a documented history of maintenance challenges dating back several years, with particularly notable recent issues emerging in late 2024. The most recent series of complaints from October 2024 included emergency situations involving water leaks with heavy flow, plumbing issues with basins/sinks, electrical problems resulting in no lighting, and pest-related unsanitary conditions, with violations issued for the latter two.

These complaints followed an earlier pattern of maintenance issues in 2023, including a power outage and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building. The building's first apartment (Apartment 1) has open violations as of October 2024, including active citations for a mouse infestation, water leak issues, and damaged plastered surfaces, though some violations from 2023 related to electrical service have been certified as corrected.

Prior to these recent developments, the building experienced various maintenance challenges including heat and hot water issues (documented in 2020), and unusual complaints about illegal animal keeping (rooster and farm animal complaints in 2020). The property has shown some improvements in recent years, as evidenced by the bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 which consistently show zero infestation cases, and the rodent inspections from 2018-2019 indicated successful baiting efforts, though initial inspections showed rat activity. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water-related issues, electrical systems, and occasional pest problems, though there have been periods of regulatory compliance and successful resolution of certain maintenance issues.
