3002 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 10-story, 100-unit building at 3002 Atlantic Avenue in East New York, owned by Alan Bell, was completed in 2018 and has been experiencing significant maintenance issues recently. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple housing code complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster, flooring, plumbing, and door issues, with violations issued for flooring problems that require correction. There was also a major heat and hot water outage in March 2025 affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed by tenants during that period. The building has documented ongoing problems with elevator service, with an active complaint from April 2025 regarding single device service, following multiple similar complaints between 2020 and 2022 that resulted in violations and penalties totaling over $1,200.

The property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, revealing recurring safety and maintenance concerns. In late 2024, Apartment 9H was cited for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and in August 2024, Apartment 5B was found to have a roach infestation. Historical records show multiple violations for self-closing door issues throughout different stories of the building, particularly noted during a November 2024 inspection. The building's construction phase (2019-2020) had some compliance issues, with violations recorded in September 2019 regarding construction safety and equipment misuse, though these were later resolved.

The building has experienced periodic insect infestation problems, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicating three affected units, though all were reportedly treated. Prior to this, there were also reports of mold and water leak issues in early 2025. The persistence of these various maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water, elevator service, and pest control, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and infrastructure maintenance. All housing maintenance code violations from inspections have been marked as resolved, though some required multiple follow-ups for correction.
