71 Pineapple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 17-unit, 5-story apartment building at 71 Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Neera Raj, has experienced several concerning issues over the past year. Most notably, there have been recent complaints in 2025 regarding indoor air quality with chemical vapors and mold, though HPD was unable to complete an inspection for the mold complaint. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, resulting in violations for inadequate heat supply and defective smoke detectors in Apartment D1.
Other significant concerns include safety violations related to emergency egress and locked fire escapes, documented in a series of 2021-2022 ECB violations, suggesting serious fire safety compliance issues. The building's maintenance history shows persistent problems requiring attention, including the need for boiler repairs (2022), and multiple violations regarding self-closing doors and access to building systems. Recent inspections have indicated rodent activity in 2023-2024, though previous years showed passing inspections.
While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2025 shows no documented infestations, the recent pattern of mold and air quality complaints raises concerns about overall building maintenance. The most recent violation, issued in September 2024, indicates failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent pattern of having violations certified as corrected, though some recent complaints regarding mold and air quality remain unresolved and require re-inspection.
