1803 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1803 Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nathan Schwarcz and constructed in 1901, has experienced significant recent maintenance challenges, particularly in April 2025. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently closed relating to electrical issues (including lighting failures and a power outage), mold, flooring problems, and window frame concerns. In total, eight complaints were logged between April 7 and April 16, 2025, though inspections by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were not completed, with requests to refile for proper inspection.

Earlier in 2025, a fire escape-related safety complaint was filed in January, though HPD's inspection found no housing law violations. The building's violation history shows several issues requiring attention, including a lack of hot water in Apartment 2, locked access to the heating system in the boiler room, and problems with self-closing doors, all identified during an October 2023 inspection. Previous violations from 2022 and 2023 noted the need for proper smoke detector requirement postings and bedbug reporting compliance.

The property has maintained relatively consistent rodent inspection results, passing inspections in 2019, 2022, 2024, and most recently in July 2025. Bedbug reports submitted annually from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations or eradications during their respective reporting periods. While the building experienced some concerning maintenance issues in 2025, particularly regarding electrical systems and mold, its recent rodent control success and bedbug-free status are positive indicators of overall pest management.
