417 Atkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, 12-unit building at 417 Atkins Avenue in East New York, owned by Ijaz Malik, has exhibited several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2025. This year alone, there have been multiple service requests and violations related to door/window issues, heating systems, and plumbing (including a bathtub/shower emergency). In 2024, the building experienced multiple water leak problems (both slow and heavy flow) and cabinet-related issues, though these were generally resolved following HPD inspections.

The building has had recurring heating system problems, with emergency complaints filed in both 2019 and 2025 regarding heat and hot water conditions throughout the building. The property has faced various maintenance challenges since 2019, including more serious issues such as potential fire safety concerns with obstructed fire escapes (noted in a 2019 violation) and window damage in Apartment 11, particularly regarding broken glass panes. Although there have been several instances of water-related complaints and infrastructure issues, the management has generally responded to these complaints, with many being resolved through inspections.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested or re-infested units. The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2023, confirmed no infestations. Additionally, the building passed a rodent inspection in July 2012, though this is now quite dated compared to more recent concerns.
