1509 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The three-unit residential building at 1509 Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Robert Shabazz and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations currently on record from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2024.
The most recent building inspection from April 2024 has also identified an open Class C violation concerning defective self-closing doors in the third-story apartment 3. Historically, the building had fire safety concerns in 2019 when violations were issued for a defective fire-retardant ceiling in the second-story public hall, though these were properly addressed and certified as corrected in March 2020.
The property has maintained good rodent control compliance, passing inspections in 2018, 2020, 2022, and most recently in 2024, which indicates proper management of pest control measures in this regard. Interestingly, while the building underwent inspection for bedbug issues multiple times from 2022 to 2024 and failed to file required reports in recent years, the building's official 2021 bedbug report covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 recorded zero infestation cases, suggesting effective previous management of this particular issue prior to the recent violations. The building's pattern of recurring bedbug reporting violations, combined with the recent door maintenance issue, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes, though historical records show that other major maintenance issues have typically been addressed within a reasonable timeframe.
