158 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

158 Pennsylvania Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1921, currently managed by Penn Apartments LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January 2024 and February 2025, affecting both entire building and individual apartments. Most recently, three heat/hot water complaints were filed and resolved in February 2025.

The building has documented violations related to self-closing doors, both at the basement and first-story levels, which were addressed and closed in early 2024. Apartment 13 required particular attention in January 2024 for multiple issues, including inadequate heat supply, hot water problems, and water leak concerns from radiators, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, including plaster and paint work in multiple units.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent reports (2024-2025) showing zero infested units. Similarly, the building passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, indicating no pest control concerns in recent years. While the heating system has been problematic, with multiple complaints filed and generally resolved, the building has maintained compliance with other housing maintenance requirements, addressing violations through proper channels and procedures.
