1849 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 8-unit residential building at 1849 Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Kissoon Persaud and constructed in 2004, has experienced ongoing pest-related issues in recent months. Most notably, between March and July 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to pest infestations, with the most recent service request for pest problems filed in April 2025 remaining unresolved as of July 2025. The building's second-floor apartment (2F) appears to be particularly affected, with multiple open violations documented from late 2024 regarding infestations of roaches and mice, as well as concerns about hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees and a broken entrance lock.

The property has also experienced various maintenance issues, including a mold complaint in April 2025, electrical problems with outlets and appliances, and ceiling plaster damage requiring attention. Earlier records show some electrical safety concerns, including an Environmental Control Board violation in 2021 related to unsafe electrical equipment in apartment 2F, though this was resolved with a $800 penalty. The building's maintenance history includes regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2022 and 2025 showing compliance, though there were multiple instances of bait application required in late 2019.

While the building has maintained an active pest control program with regular inspections showing passed compliance, the frequency and nature of recent pest-related complaints suggest persistent challenges. Notably, the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2025), though there was one reported case in 2019. The property has been subject to multiple agency inspections and has received various violations over time, with the majority being related to unsanitary conditions and pest control issues.
