2300 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 2300 Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Lea Guttman and built in 1927, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably in early 2025. Recent emergencies from January 30, 2025, included multiple critical issues such as non-functioning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detector problems, plumbing/water supply failures, door issues, and a pest infestation. Of particular concern are ongoing structural problems in apartment 4R, with active violations as of May 2024 documenting floor sagging in the living room and kitchen, stress cracks from floor to ceiling in the bedroom, and bulging walls around the window, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

The building has a documented history of unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints about mold, garbage storage, and pest issues throughout 2023-2024. Several complaints from late 2023 and early 2024 resulted in violations, particularly regarding mold issues. There were also significant safety concerns in March 2024, including multiple violations in apartment 4R related to missing window guards, door issues, and water leaks.

More recent 311 complaints in early 2024 showed continued problems with heat and water supply. The building's inspection records indicate persistent maintenance challenges, though there have been regular filings showing no bedbug infestations over the past several years. The property was under structural monitoring as of May 2024, with multiple complaints about building shaking and stability concerns, though access was denied for some inspections.
