2307 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 2307 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Eny Development LLC and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of violations related to building safety systems identified during a July 2023 inspection of apartment 1A, which revealed multiple open violations including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical outlets.

The apartment also had documented maintenance issues such as a defective window spring balance, door problems in both the bathroom and entrance, and concerns with the security of the bell buzzer system. Additionally, there was an infestation issue in apartment 1A that was officially abated in August 2023. The building's pressurized systems have been a continuing compliance concern, with four active violations as of June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020, as well as a violation from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection.

The building's history shows some positive aspects as well, including consistent reporting indicating no bedbug infestations in recent years, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units. A rodent inspection from 2012 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that some maintenance issues have been addressed over time. While some violations from 2021 have been closed - including exterior maintenance issues like a broken glass at the front entrance and obstructions around a third-story scuttle ladder - the current focus should remain on the open violations from 2023 that affect building safety systems and require attention to maintain compliance with housing maintenance codes.
