2131 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

2131 Pitkin Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Angelina Rosario. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues, particularly in June 2019 when multiple electrical problems were reported, including power outages, lighting failures, and outlet issues. These incidents, along with a refrigerator complaint, were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has also been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, with the most significant being a series of annual bedbug report filing requirements between 2021 and 2024, all marked as Class A violations (though recent filings in 2023-2024 indicate no infestation issues). In June 2019, several safety compliance issues were identified and subsequently addressed, including requirements for proper notices regarding gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detectors, and building inspection certificates, as well as the illegal fastening of the front gate. The most recent building inspection history shows that all previously identified violations have been closed, including an April 2024 bedbug report showing no infested units.

Notable positive compliance history includes a passed rodent inspection in June 2012, though this is now quite dated. The building's documented history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep, with multiple issues arising simultaneously in 2019 and recurring annual bedbug reporting requirements in recent years. While most violations have been addressed and resolved according to records, the frequency and clustering of past issues suggest periods of maintenance challenges, particularly affecting core building systems like electricity and safety compliance.
