208 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

208 Pennsylvania Avenue is a 2-family, 2-story residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Isaac Fialkoff. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a pattern of pest-related problems. In 2024, there were multiple complaints about pests, including two non-emergency reports in February and an emergency safety issue in May regarding a broken window guard.

An inspection in March 2024 revealed multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 1A, including lead paint hazards, water leak issues, and evidence of rodent infestation. This inspection documented eight separate violations, classified as A, B, and C, covering problems with plaster surfaces, water damage, wall tiles, door frames, and peeling paint in various rooms. Notably, there is one current open violation regarding visible mold condition at the bathroom ceiling in Apartment 1A, which remains unresolved as of May 2024.

The building's recent history also includes bedbug reports showing unit count as zero from 2021 through 2024, though there was one reported case in 2020 that was marked as eradicated. Previous rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012 showed passing results, while a 2019 inspection was performed after rodent-related complaints. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years, with the most recent filings showing no current infestations. While some recent violations have been closed, including those related to lead paint and various repair issues, the persistence of certain problems like window safety concerns and mold suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
