162 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 162 Atkins Avenue in East New York, owned by Zenaida Londono, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, there were two significant complaints regarding building-wide heat/hot water issues and a slow water leak, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. In July 2023, multiple inspections were conducted for various issues including heavy water flow, paint/plaster problems on walls and ceilings, flooring concerns, and an unsanitary condition involving pests.

While these complaints were closed, it is worth noting that there were no violations issued for these particular issues. The building has a documented history of pest problems, particularly in Apartment 1, with violations issued in March 2021 for mice and roach infestations. These violations, along with others from 2021 inspections regarding plumbing issues, damaged plaster surfaces, and an inoperable carbon monoxide detector, were not marked as resolved in the current records.

The property also has some concerning inspection history regarding rodent activity, with a rat activity inspection result from October 2020, though previous inspections in 2012 and 2017 had passed. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of moisture-related issues, including multiple water leak complaints with varying severity from heavy flow to slow leaks. The age of the building (constructed in 1910) combined with these persistent maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
