206 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 206 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Assaf Levi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns relating to heating and safety. Between November 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, with one notable violation issued in November 2024 for the second-floor apartment regarding hot water exceeding 130 degrees.

The building currently has several open violations as of November 2024, including issues with mold, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and multiple interior repairs needed in Apartment 2, such as addressing broken plastered surfaces, defective wood floors in the kitchen, and repair needs for carbon monoxide detectors. Additional historical context shows that while the building passed rodent inspections from 2009-2013, there were several plumbing and unsanitary condition complaints in 2024, including issues with sinks and mold. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring problems, particularly in terms of heating and internal maintenance.

The most recent 311 service requests in early 2025 specifically cited heat/hot water problems, echoing similar complaints from late 2024. The building's age (constructed in 1930) combined with these ongoing maintenance issues suggests that while some violations have been addressed (as indicated by "closed" statuses in certain categories), many significant habitability concerns remain open as of the latest available data. The property has maintained records of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (with no infestations reported from 2018-2019) and passed initial rodent inspections in 2013, 2012, and 2011, though there were some failures noted in earlier inspections.
