207 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 207 Atkins Avenue in East New York, owned by Nasir Islam, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, the property faced multiple violations including unsanitary conditions (specifically mold), water leaks (slow leaks), ceiling damage requiring paint/plaster work, and flooring issues, with some of these problems classified as emergencies.

Earlier, in late 2023, there were two separate complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though one incident was resolved quickly and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access the building to verify the second complaint. A similar heating system access issue occurred in 2018, marking a concerning pattern of unreliable heat/hot water service.

The building's most recent documented complaint, from July 2024, involved drainage issues (Failure to Retain Water/Improper Drainage), though this was documented under a different address (11208) and closed without access being granted for inspection. While some of the 2024 violations and complaints were resolved through HPD inspections, it's worth noting that several of these issues have been recurring problems, particularly regarding heating infrastructure. The building, dating from 1899 and consisting of two stories, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges that affect basic services and environmental conditions, with the most recent cluster of violations occurring during the fall of 2024.
