Augrented Insights Report for 1561 Pitkin Avenue

1561 Pitkin Avenue is a 4-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Leodan Tochimani and located in Brownsville, NYC. The property has experienced several concerning safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in February 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a broken/missing window guard.

In August 2023, there were multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including mold, as well as paint and plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, particularly in apartment 11. More recent developments include several open violations as of September 2024, involving required safety notices about carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and other important tenant information that must be posted in common areas. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly related to safety systems and maintenance requirements.

While the HPD has closed many complaints after inspection, recent inspections have revealed multiple open violations requiring the posting of safety-related notices. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2021 through the end of 2024 showing no infested units or eradicated units during any reporting periods. The building also has some historical maintenance issues that have been resolved, including problems with window frames, walls, and ceiling conditions, though these were addressed through various HPD inspections and corrections.
