1369 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1369 Atlantic Avenue is a five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Michael Rochford and located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with multiple complaints regarding water leaks, heating problems, and various maintenance concerns. Most notably, in early 2025, there were several service requests that could not be inspected due to lack of access, including complaints about water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and intercom problems.

The building has faced ongoing heating challenges, with complaints about both building-wide and apartment-specific heat/hot water issues documented in 2022-2024, though some of these were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD inspectors. The property underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code inspections in 2023-2024, revealing various violations that were subsequently closed. These included issues with bathroom fixtures, paint/plaster surfaces, and door maintenance in apartments 3A and 5C. The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years across all units.

Recent plumbing and maintenance issues were documented in 2025, including multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints regarding doors, plumbing fixtures, and water leaks. However, all these complaints have been closed, though some required repeated filings for proper documentation. Notably, the building consistently passes rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing no violations. The property owner has also demonstrated compliance with local law audits, as evidenced by a successful inspection in October 2020.
