203 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

203 Atkins Avenue is a two-family residence located in East New York, built in 1901 and currently owned by Sean Austin. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2018, particularly related to heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between October and December 2018, affecting both entire building and individual apartments.

These complaints, marked as emergencies, resulted in varying responses, including one instance where inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected units. The building also faced plumbing challenges during October 2018, with emergency complaints regarding radiator issues and water supply problems, as well as concerns about unsanitary conditions and pests documented during the same period. Prior to these incidents, the property underwent rodent inspections in 2012 and 2014, with the earlier inspection passing but the later inspections failing for unspecified reasons.

Additionally, there was an investigation into an alleged illegal conversion of the property in October 2018, though inspectors reported access denial on two attempts in December 2018. While these documented issues primarily occurred in 2018-2019, it's important to note that the records available only extend through October 2023, meaning there may have been subsequent developments not captured in this analysis. The building's age (over 120 years old) and history of maintenance complaints suggest potential infrastructure challenges, though the most recent documented complaints are now several years old.
