2542 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

2542 Pitkin Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in East New York, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Ken Griffith. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2023 when multiple complaints were filed on January 18 regarding unsanitary conditions (pest-related), plumbing issues (basin/sink problems), and electrical concerns (wiring).

While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were found, and all were formally closed by April 27, 2023. A prior incident worth noting occurred in April 2019, when there was a report of heat and hot water issues in an apartment within the building.

However, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection purposes, and this complaint was subsequently closed within two days. Across all documented complaints, there appears to be a pattern of pest-related issues (reported twice in 2023) and various maintenance concerns, though it's worth mentioning that none of the complaints from 2023 resulted in any official violations being recorded. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic issues with essential services and hygiene concerns, though the relatively prompt resolution of these complaints indicates some level of responsiveness from the management or ownership.
