2311 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-unit building at 2311 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Luz Olivencia, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage that required emergency intervention by HPD, though these services were reportedly restored during the inspection process.

The building has persistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with notices of violation issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating potential ongoing administrative oversight issues. The property also has two documented Food Establishment inspection complaints from late 2023 through mid-2024, though these were administratively closed indicating they had been addressed.

Looking further back, the building's inspection history includes a successful rodent inspection in May 2012, which passed without issues. The recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing challenge with compliance to this specific requirement, though this does not necessarily indicate an active pest infestation. The most recent heat and hot water outage in early 2025 represents the most significant recent service disruption affecting resident comfort and safety, while the food establishment complaints from 2023-2024 indicate there may be tenant-occupied commercial space in the building or nearby.
