2484 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 2484 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, owned by Hassan Alsamet and built in 1925, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade that warrant attention. Most concerning are five rodent/insect/garbage complaints filed between August 2020 and March 2021 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, all of which remain in "Closed" status as of June 2024, along with one complaint regarding bare hands in food handling.

The building also faced significant electrical safety concerns in 2018, including a power outage that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations. A series of electrical violations emerged in 2018-2019, with an active environmental control board violation related to improper wiring conductors and equipment, specifically concerning the use of standard wire instead of approved conductors at the meter connections, which carries a $500 penalty.

The property has a history of unpermitted construction work issues from 2017 onward, with multiple violations totaling $12,500, though these were eventually resolved. A rodent inspection from May 2012 reported a passing result. While many of these violations have been addressed, the frequency of rodent-related complaints in 2020-2021 and the active electrical violation from 2019 suggest persistent maintenance challenges in the building's systems and hygiene conditions.
