459 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 459 Atkins Avenue in East New York, owned by Donte Rodgers, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The property, built in 1930, is currently facing several open violations from a 2021 inspection, including requirements to post proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, maintain light-colored paint in the first-story public hall, and provide a completed certificate of inspection visits near the mailboxes. There is also an open violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements from April 2024. Previous maintenance issues were documented in 2021 and 2020, with multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, and concerns about a mold condition in Apartment 2R that was noted as approximately 4 square feet on the north wall.
The building has a history of various maintenance requests, including emergency and non-emergency complaints related to paint/plaster work, door/window issues, flooring concerns, electrical lighting problems, and pest control needs. In 2020, multiple inspections were conducted without violations being issued, covering various maintenance issues including wall paint, flooring, and electrical concerns. A concerning incident regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment was reported in April 2020 and remains listed as in-progress. The property has undergone bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2023, with the most recent report in October 2023 showing no infested or eradicated units for the previous reporting period.
Historical records show rodent inspection failures in 2015, but passing inspections in earlier years suggest temporary infestations. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic upkeep and regulatory compliance, while also showing periods of improved conditions. The most recent bedbug report indicates no current infestations, though the property has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention over the years. The presence of open violations from 2021 regarding safety notice requirements and code compliance suggests some regulatory requirements remain unmet, while previous complaints have shown a pattern of maintenance needs across different systems and areas of the building.
