1500 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The four-story, six-unit residential building at 1500 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Yuen Tung Ip, has exhibited several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's failure to maintain proper inspection records, with active violations for not filing External Low Pressure Inspections from 2018 through 2023, and a Boiler Inspection Report from 2017.
Recent maintenance concerns include a May 2025 complaint about dust from construction affecting indoor air quality, and structural issues documented in 2021 regarding falling debris. The building has experienced recurring appliance issues, particularly with refrigerators in 2020, and multiple plumbing problems including water supply interruptions in 2019 and 2021.
While the building has maintained an active pest management program with consistent bedbug reporting showing no infestations from 2021 through 2025, earlier rodent inspections in 2015-2017 indicated some compliance challenges. Safety features have been a concern, with multiple violations related to smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures identified in 2024, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has experienced various other maintenance issues over the years, including a heat/hot water complaint in 2019 that could not be inspected due to access issues, and multiple violations related to water leaks and security features in Apartment 3 from 2020.
