1508 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The three-story, two-family house at 1508 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Jeffrey Zagelbaum, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water supply issues and heat/hot water availability, though inspections were either incomplete or confirmed that conditions had improved.
In early 2025, the building faced pest infestation problems, particularly involving mice, roaches, and bedbugs, with confirmed violations issued in multiple inspection periods. Apartment 3R has been a consistent focus of housing maintenance issues, receiving multiple violations in 2024 for pest infestations (bedbugs, mice, and roaches), water leak problems, and various maintenance requirements including door and lock repairs and painting. The building has also experienced plumbing challenges, with documented water leak complaints in 2024 and 2025, including instances of heavy flow.
An interesting note is the building's ongoing history of allegedly illegal conversions, with complaints filed in 2020 and 2024, though in each case inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While the property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations requiring correction, many issues have been officially closed through inspection verification, including a passed rodent inspection in 2017 and documentation showing that pest control measures were eventually completed in 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with plumbing, pest control, and general upkeep, though recent inspection patterns indicate some responsiveness to correction requirements.
