333 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family, two-story building at 333 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Eusi John, was constructed in 1901 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, in March 2021, the building faced multiple pest-related violations, with documented infestations of vermin, mice, and roaches specifically affecting the second-floor apartment, as well as a general unsanitary condition regarding pests that required inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These violations appear to be addressed, as the bedbug reporting from 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 indicates no infested dwelling units, though there had been previous violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022.

The building has also experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems with toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers in August 2018, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection at that time. A 2022 inspection revealed a Class C violation regarding a defective self-closing door at the building entrance, which has since been closed. The property has undergone rodent inspections in recent years, with a rat activity finding in April 2019, though a subsequent compliance inspection in May 2019 passed.

Earlier rodent inspections in 2012 showed no activity. The building's maintenance history includes various 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations, most of which have been resolved, with the exception of some recent complaints regarding pest infestations in apartment 2 that were documented as Open violations in March 2021. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older structures, particularly in regard to pest management and basic plumbing systems.
