2937 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

2937 Atlantic Avenue is a three-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, and owned by Rubin Kaykov. Built in 1920, the property has experienced several notable issues over the past decade, with particular concerns regarding rodent activity.

In 2019, there were multiple rat sightings reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though subsequent inspections in September 2019 and from prior years consistently passed rodent inspections. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all six annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including two separate Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these were classified as Class A violations and were closed.

More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint about work performed without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Two other complaints from 2020 regarding illegal work/change in occupancy use and from 2018 regarding an illegal curb cut were also closed, with access denied in one case and no violation found in the other. Despite these issues, the building's most recent complaints and inspections suggest improved regulatory compliance, particularly with the complete absence of recorded bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods.
