45 Pineapple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
45 Pineapple Street is a 7-story, 67-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1883 and currently owned by Eugene Lewis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a broken window guard reported in February 2025, for which violations were issued but remain uncorrected as of now. A construction lead dust complaint from February 2025 is currently in progress. The building has a history of water-related issues, including a heavy flow water leak reported in May 2024, which was inspected with no violations found, and multiple violations regarding walls, ceilings, and flooring requiring repair and proper maintenance.
The elevator system has undergone specific scrutiny, with a violation issued in 2021 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, and associated penalties. There were also several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to building maintenance and compliance, including issues with facade maintenance and elevator inspection requirements. The building has maintained an active response to bedbug reporting requirements, with no infested units reported in recent filings from 2025, 2024, and 2023. Historical complaints from 2018 indicate significant maintenance requirements in apartment 2J, including problems with kitchen and bathroom conditions, though many of these violations appear to be resolved.
Recent inspection records show the building has passed rodent inspections in 2015 and 2013, with only one recorded instance of rat activity in 2013. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressable but recurring issues, particularly related to safety and building systems. The most pressing current issues are the broken window guard reported in February 2025 and the ongoing construction lead dust complaint. It is worth noting that despite the various violations and maintenance issues, the building has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing zero infestation. The most recent housing violation inspection regarding bedbug reporting was in March 2023, and the building has passed recent rodent inspections.
