Is 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 14 new Class C against 0 certifications filed in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for the entire building has been in effect since June 1, 2026. Reason on the order: habitability. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued December 31, 2024. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 5 housing court cases here since 2022. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed October 28, 2025. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 5 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $63,919 in total. The most recent of the 5, a general construction order, was opened May 7, 2025. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a three-family dwelling with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 1511 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD vacate orders, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD emergency repair orders, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
