8818 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, three-unit building at 8818 21st Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Victor Atlasman, has a significant history of regulatory issues and code violations spanning several years, with the most recent complaints about illegal conversions occurring in 2020, 2021, and 2023, all of which were marked by access denial during inspections. The property was cited multiple times in 2018 for serious violations, including the illegal creation of an attic apartment, unauthorized cooking facilities, and improper multiple dwelling conversion, particularly during inspections in February and May where illegal gas ranges and plumbing fixtures were found in the cellar and third story. These violations led to two separate Environmental Control Board citations in 2018 for occupancy contrary to allowed use, with one resulting in a $625 penalty.

The building's maintenance history shows a complaint about unsanitary garbage storage in October 2018, though this was resolved within days. The Department of Buildings has recorded several inspection attempts that resulted in access denial, most notably in 2023 (twice), 2021, and in October 2019 when an oath violation was served. An environmental citation from October 2019 noted improper parking of four cars on the property, though no penalty was imposed.

The file also contains a series of building permit-related complaints between 2018 and 2021, with most either showing no violations or resulting in no charges. A notable resolution occurred in September 2019 regarding an immediately hazardous violation, which was later downgraded to class 2 or 3. The building's recent and recurring issues with unauthorized conversions and access denial during inspections may suggest ongoing non-compliance with building regulations, though most historical violations appear to have been resolved through various means.
