2210 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 2210 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Rafael Arias, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. The property has faced multiple unsanitary conditions, particularly related to pest infestations, with documented complaints in April 2023, August 2023, and May 2024.

These pest-related issues appear to be persistent problems within the building. Additional significant concerns were documented in 2023, including violations related to mold, water leaks, and problems with windows (frames and panes), all of which were identified during an April inspection. The building's recent history also reveals air quality concerns in October 2023, followed by two pigeon odor complaints in May and June 2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene did not find any violations during the inspection of the May complaint.

The Department of Buildings records show three notable complaints: an illegal conversion case from December 2018 that resulted in an Oath violation served, a failure to comply with a vacate order in November 2023 that was found to be unsubstantiated based on department records, and a permit-related complaint in February 2024 that resulted in no violations being found. Of particular concern is an active violation from March 2019 regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation, which remains unresolved as of the latest available data. While many of the documented complaints have been closed through inspections and corrections, the frequency and nature of the issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
