1512 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
1512 Pitkin Avenue is an 8-unit, 3-story former Class A building located in Brownsville and built in 1930, currently owned by Albert Vays. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout 2025, with the most recent cluster of complaints in June 2025 regarding bell/buzzer/intercom systems, unsanitary conditions (pests), and flooring issues, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations cited.
Early 2025 saw plumbing issues affecting sinks and bathtubs/showers, as well as appliance problems with a refrigerator and electric/gas range. Of particular concern are several open violations from a November 2023 inspection related to Apartment 2A, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, electrical supply issues, and a breached self-closing door requirement in the second-story public hall. The building has also attracted attention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) regarding food establishment conditions, with complaints about rodents/insects/garbage in May and February 2025, and a food poisoning complaint currently under investigation.
Additional issues include multiple open Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020, 2021, and 2022, though these have not yet been resolved. The building's pest management history shows some improvement in recent years, with no bedbug infestation reports filed from 2021 through 2024, though there have been repeated issues with rodent activity noted in multiple inspections between 2010 and 2017, with the most recent inspections passing compliance. While the bedbug situation appears under control, the building continues to experience various maintenance challenges, particularly relating to pest management, plumbing, and electrical systems, as evidenced by the numerous complaints and violations recorded in recent years.
