857 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The three-story, four-unit building at 857 Atlantic Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Raymond Raps and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 confirming rat activity.
The building has also faced persistent unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest problems, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections being unable to gain access to perform proper evaluations between 2022 and 2024. In late 2024, HPD officially documented violations related to these unsanitary conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various quality-of-life issues, including heating and hot water problems in 2022, and emergency violations related to cooking gas and hot water systems in late 2021.
More serious violations remain open from 2019 concerning safety systems in Apartment 3R, including issues with the smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and hot water temperature exceeding the maximum safe limits. Since 2021, the building has maintained an apparently active bedbug management program, with no recorded infestations or exterminations in recent annual reports, though there was a violation noted in 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements. The property has undergone several rodent inspections since 2011, with passing results in earlier years, but with concerning recent findings in 2019 and 2024 showing rat activity, suggesting an ongoing challenge with pest management despite official reports showing no active infestations.
