2677 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, two-family residential building at 2677 Pitkin Avenue in East New York, owned by Gin Hwa Yang, has experienced several notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, in June 2024, the property received multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring problems and pest infestations, with both matters being classified as emergencies through the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints and found no violations, the recurring nature of these issues is concerning. Additionally, in September 2024, the property was cited for failing to file its 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report, resulting in an active violation that remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has a documented history of electrical and pest-related problems, with multiple complaints filed in June 2024, including one specifically noting defective/exposed electrical wiring.

While these recent inspections did not result in formal violations, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that the property had a rodent inspection in April 2012, which it passed, though this is now over a decade old and may not reflect current conditions. A complaint regarding privately owned public space non-compliance was filed in June 2024 and was referred to the Department of Parks and Recreation, though its resolution status is unclear from the available data.
