1845 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, 8-unit building at 1845 Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Kissoon Persaud, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, in 2024, apartment 1F received multiple violations including non-functioning self-closing doors, missing fire safety equipment (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector), and failure to file annual bedbug reports. The building has a documented history of sanitation and maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage issues in 2022 and 2020, and pest-related complaints in 2019-2020 all resulting in violations.

There have been concerns about water-related issues, including a plumbing complaint in 2024 and a heavy water flow complaint in 2019. The building experienced a heat and hot water problem in 2021 that required emergency intervention but was resolved quickly. Recent inspections have shown some improvement in building conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing successfully.

The building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs in its most recent reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, exhibiting proper extermination practices. While the building has had multiple violations and service requests over the years, many of these issues have been addressed promptly. The most pressing current concerns appear to be maintaining proper documentation and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations, as demonstrated by the recent violations in apartment 1F from April 2024. The building's management has generally responded to emergency situations, as evidenced by the quick resolution of the 2024 plumbing issue and the 2021 heat problem, though access issues prevented inspection of certain complaints in 2019 and 2020.
