1237 Avenue Z, Brooklyn, NY 11235

Located in Sheepshead Bay, Atlantic Towers is a six-story, 128-unit residential building constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Gabriel Suleymanov. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout recent years, with particularly notable issues in 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple health department interventions required for indoor air quality issues, including unsafe mold, ventilation problems, and unsanitary animal conditions.

The building has also shown ongoing rodent infestation problems, as evidenced by multiple failed inspections between 2022 and 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations reveal significant concerns in apartment 1L, including water leak issues and deteriorating plastered surfaces identified in 2023 inspections. The elevator systems have been a recurring source of complaints, with multiple violations recorded between 2020 and 2022 regarding safety monitoring systems, though several of these complaints were found to have no violation warrant at the time of inspection. The building's most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have all resulted in failure for "Other Reasons," indicating continued pest control challenges.

Despite these persistent issues, the building's bedbug reporting history for 2022-2023 shows no confirmed infestations. Atlantic Towers has several active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2022 related to fire safety signs and elevator door lock monitoring requirements, with associated fines. The property has also faced challenges with basic building systems, including plumbing issues and water leaks. While some violations have been resolved, including various housing maintenance code complaints and some elevator issues, the building continues to grapple with ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that affect the resident experience.
