612 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, six-unit New Law tenement at 612 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Cietus Charles and built in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of heat and hot water problems, particularly during 2018-2019, with several complaints being filed and violations issued, including a current open violation from 2019 regarding access to the building's heating system. The building has also faced electrical issues, with complaints about power outages and an electric/gas range problem in September 2021, both of which were investigated but resulted in no violations.

More recently, there is currently an open violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, following similar violations in 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and sanitation issues, with multiple complaints about water supply problems and unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2018. A cluster of maintenance complaints in October 2021 involved issues with doors, mold, flooring, and various building systems, all of which were resolved.

In 2019, there were documented violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 1F, including issues with plaster surfaces and bathroom maintenance, though these were subsequently closed. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2011-2012, with one instance of rat activity recorded in June 2011, though all subsequent inspections were passed. The comprehensive service request and violation history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly concerning heating systems and compliance with housing regulations. While many issues have been addressed through inspections and service requests, several open violations remain, including those related to bedbug reporting and waste management.
