1847 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 1847 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Asher Shtesl and constructed in 2022, has experienced several maintenance and regulatory events since its completion. Most recently, in early 2025, there was an investigation into unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though inspectors found no housing law violations. Earlier complaints include a November 2024 plumbing issue involving steam pipes/risers, which was categorized as an immediate emergency but was not fully inspected by HPD.

The building faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections in 2023, including matters related to construction compliance, sustainability enforcement, and sidewalk safety, with most either showing no violations or resulting in the inspector being unable to gain access. Notably, there were two construction-related complaints in February 2023 regarding unauthorized work, though these were ultimately found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. During the construction phase in 2022, the building was subject to scrutiny regarding filing privileges and permit compliance, leading to a stop work order that was later fully rescinded.

Historical records show a rat sighting complaint in 2020, though this predates the building's current structure. Importantly, the building's bedbug report for the period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation of dwelling units, suggesting effective pest management. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring inspection, most complaints have either been resolved with no violations found or were related to matters that did not directly impact resident safety or habitability.
