2511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2511 Atlantic Avenue, owned by Besiyata Dishmaya LLC, has exhibited several concerning maintenance patterns over recent years. Most notably, there was a recent power outage in May 2025 that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, and persistent heat and hot water issues were documented through multiple complaints between 2020 and 2022, with several inspections unable to verify conditions due to access issues. The building has also experienced water-related problems, with heavy flow leaks reported in both 2020 and 2022, though no violations were issued in these cases.

Significant violations were documented in 2022 specifically concerning Apartment 2L, which faced multiple issues including a broken lock, missing door, defective tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, and various problems with plastered surfaces and cabinets. Apartment 2R was cited for a fire egress issue and a pest infestation problem in 2022, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has maintained an active bedbug report record from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infestations during these periods, though a violation for failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and remains active.

Historical data shows a mix of rodent-related inspection results between 2011 and 2018, with some initial inspections in 2016-2017 failing for rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. Previous complaints from 2018 regarding building shaking/vibrating and electrical wiring issues were investigated but found to lack sufficient evidence for violations. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing issues with basic utilities and infrastructure systems, particularly in recent years, with multiple access-related challenges for inspectors attempting to verify reported problems.
