2352 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 2352 Atlantic Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Shmuel Lang, has experienced a series of significant maintenance and construction issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. Most recently, in June 2024, there were heat and hot water complaints that could not be investigated due to lack of access. Of particular concern is the building's structural integrity, with multiple vibration-related complaints in 2021-2024, including a full vacate order served in May 2024.

The property has faced several Code Compliance issues, with the most recent violation resulting in an active penalty of $2,530 in October 2024 for construction work beyond approved plans/permits. The building's maintenance history reveals several patterns of neglect, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple violations were issued for maintenance failures, including issues with the facade, electrical systems, and structural components. Specifically, the building exhibited significant exterior problems, with reports of vertical cracks, spalling masonry, and unstable stucco.

There were also multiple violations related to unpermitted work and failure to maintain code compliance, with penalties totaling over $38,000 during this period. While rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019 showed passed results, the building's overall condition raises concerns about ongoing maintenance practices. Notably, several violations from 2021-2022 have since been resolved, suggesting some remediation efforts were undertaken, though recent heat and structural stability issues indicate persistent maintenance challenges.
