163 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 163 Atkins Avenue in East New York, owned by Eliana Rave, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in early 2024. Between February and March 2024, the property faced multiple plumbing problems, including sink issues and water supply concerns, which were categorized as emergency situations and subsequently resolved.

The building also battled significant pest problems during this period, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations documenting infestations of bedbugs, mice, and roaches in Apartment 1. These pest-related violations, issued on February 15, 2024, remain open as of the current date. Additionally, there were electrical issues involving lighting in February 2024, though no violations were recorded for this complaint.

Prior to these recent issues, the property had one noteworthy incident in 2022 when a complaint about illegal conversion was filed with the Department of Buildings, though access was denied for inspection on both attempts in 2023. The building has no recorded history of bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024, and it passed a rodent inspection in May 2012. The property's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems and pest control, particularly in the ground floor unit, though many of the most recent complaints have been officially closed following government intervention.
