2182 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

2182 Pitkin Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Jay Gruen. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues and violations, with the most recent concerns emerging in July 2024, including open complaints regarding wall conditions (paint/plaster) and multiple reports of pest-related problems, though no violations were issued following inspections. Prior to this, the building experienced several maintenance challenges in late 2023 and early 2024, including electrical issues (no lighting), garbage storage concerns, and a heat/hot water problem in Apartment 2A, though all issues were ultimately closed with no violations found.

The building has undergone regular pest control measures, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024 indicating no infested units, and three successive rodent inspections (2012, 2015, 2023) have passed without issues. Historical records show that the property has maintained compliance with annual requirements, including the timely filing of bedbug reports since 2022 showing no infestation cases. There was a notable boiler inspection violation recorded in 2018 regarding incomplete filing for previous years, but this appears to have been resolved.

The Department of Buildings' records indicate the issuance of permits for work done at the property in 2018 and 2020, specifically for exterior and plumbing-related work, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the available data. The building's maintenance history demonstrates some recurring issues with basic services such as heat/hot water and electrical systems, though these have generally been addressed through official channels. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections and has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance, suggesting adequate pest management practices when issues are identified.
