1730 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

1730 Pitkin Avenue is a three-story, two-family house located in Brownsville and built in 1930, currently owned by Pit Plaza LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in both 2022 and 2023. Most recently, in December 2023, there were three emergency complaints filed with HPD for heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems (sink-related), and unsanitary conditions involving mold, though access for inspections was not granted in some cases.

The building has visible violations as of January 2024, particularly affecting the second apartment, including issues with pests (roaches), inadequate heating, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and concerns about bathroom ceiling conditions. The third apartment also has open violations from December 2023 regarding pest infestation, plumbing issues, and safety concerns with window guards. The property has a documented history of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues, deteriorating conditions, and interior surface problems.

While there were various complaints and inspections in 2022 concerning heat/hot water, paint/plaster surfaces, and window frames, many of these resulted in either no violations being found or were marked as closed with no further action required. A bedbug report from December 2024 indicated no active infestations during the previous year. Most recently, in September 2024, a permit was issued for work at the property, though specific details of the work to be performed were not provided in the available records.
