1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1511 Atlantic Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Barbara Bell. The century-old property, which is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been significant problems with the heating system, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water throughout late 2024 and early 2025, including several instances in January 2025 when HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions.
The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with several water supply issues reported in late 2024, including an active violation as of December 2024 regarding a leaking valve causing water damage to multiple units. The property has open housing maintenance code violations from early 2024, including issues with the roof leaking in multiple locations, broken electrical fixtures, plumbing repairs needed in Apartment 3, and a violation regarding flower pots obstructing fire escape egress. Recent structural concerns were documented in December 2024, including complaints about building shaking/vibrating and a structural monitoring situation, though these appear to have been closed shortly thereafter.
The heating system has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints leading up to and following two defective/inoperative boiler complaints in January 2025. While a rat activity inspection in June 2024 showed problems with rodent presence, a subsequent November 2024 inspection resulted in a passing grade. An environmental control board violation from December 2024 identified issues with leaking plumbing affecting multiple floors, with an associated penalty of $1,280.
