2302 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 2302 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, owned by Jason Gardine and constructed in 2006, has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly concerning building systems. In March 2025, the property encountered multiple emergencies, including a water supply issue and a loss of heat/hot water affecting the entire building.

Notably, inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the building during both investigations, and the complaints were subsequently closed due to lack of access. These recent incidents mark the first major building system failures recorded since 2021, when the property received a Class A violation for failing to file an annual bedbug report, though this violation was marked as closed. The building's history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2023, with all reports indicating zero infested units during each filing period.

Furthermore, the property has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent control, passing an initial inspection in May 2012. While the recent plumbing and heating issues represent a concerning pattern of system failures, it's worth noting that these are the first reported building-wide infrastructure problems since the building's construction. The building remains classified as a "Class A" dwelling, indicating it meets the basic requirements for residential occupancy in New York City.
