2869 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 2869 Atlantic Avenue in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, owned by Victor Carella, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in the areas of heat and hot water. The most recent heat and hot water problem occurred in June 2021, following a similar issue in June 2020, though both were reportedly resolved promptly. Between March and April 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding various unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, mold, and water leaks, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

More recently, in June 2023, multiple violations were documented, including issues with flooring, a missing self-closing door, and defective safety equipment in apartment 3R, though these were certified as corrected by July 2023. The building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested units. Recent inspections (2017, 2012, and 2011) for rodent problems were all passed.

Historical violations show concerns ranging from security issues (illegal electromagnetic locking devices) to encroachments on fire escapes in 2020, though these were subsequently addressed. Two Local Law 188 inspections in late 2020 and early 2021 were either conducted without finding violations or access was not granted. The property has maintained a consistent record of filing required bedbug reports with zero infestations, though 2022-2023 inspections revealed various maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed.
