1598 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family residence at 1598 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Morris Zakaria, is a 2-story building constructed in 1930. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent months, with the most significant issue being a heat and hot water complaint filed on October 31, 2023, through the Housing Preservation and Development department.

This emergency complaint was closed by November 3, 2023, though inspectors were reportedly unable to access the apartments for verification. The building underwent several Building Department sweeps between February and August 2023, with no violations found in any of the inspections conducted during these sweeps. Additionally, there was a complaint regarding excessive debris on April 16, 2023, which was investigated on May 8, 2023, but no violations were cited.

A more recent report from January 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 showed no bedbug activity in the building, with zero units reporting infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during that timeframe. While the property has had multiple complaints filed throughout 2023, most have been resolved without any violations being found upon inspection. The relatively recent heat/hot water issue and the previous complaint about excessive debris stand out as the most notable concerns, though it's worth noting that many of the complaints received during 2023 resulted in no violations being documented.
