453 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 4-story, 18-unit residential building at 453 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Sefik Gunes, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding unit conditions and maintenance. The most recent incidents in early 2025 involved plumbing and appliance concerns (paint/plaster issues, refrigerator problems, and electric range issues), all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations being issued. However, there were documented rodent complaints in 2024, with two violations related to pest control, one of which was labeled "unsanitary condition." Additional issues in September 2024 included multiple complaints about mold and pests, though not all resulted in violations.
The building's history shows recurring problems with water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations regarding mold, water leaks, and defective faucets in apartment 12, identified during inspections in 2024 and requiring various repairs. The building has undergone several inspections and faced various compliance checks since 2015, with mixed results. While bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show zero infested units reported, there have been persistent rodent control efforts, with the most recent compliance inspection in February 2025 passed successfully.
The property has experienced several violations and necessary repairs, including issues with self-closing doors and various mold/maintenance concerns. A significant health and safety violation was noted in 2019 regarding unsafe rigging equipment, though this was later resolved. The building's management has generally responded to violations within required timeframes, as evidenced by certification dates for most issues, though there is one open violation from 2024 involving water leak repairs in apartment 11. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various housing maintenance code violations, with regular inspections and compliance requirements being met, though some issues have persisted over time.
