2709 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

2709 Pitkin Avenue is a 40-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1993, currently owned by Mhany 2011 Hdfc. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues, with multiple HPD complaints in 2025 (April, March, January) and late 2024 (December), some of which resulted in violations being issued.

Recent inspections have revealed several open housing maintenance code violations, including inadequate heating in the 3rd-story apartment (Class C violation), malfunctioning self-closing doors in Apartment 3, and locked access to the heating system in the cellar. The property has also faced challenges with mold and water issues, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and heavy water flow were logged, though not all resulted in violations.

Additional ongoing maintenance concerns include three open violations from 2024 related to Apartment A2's broken closet door, door lock, and floor tiles, as well as a mold issue in Apartment 1 documented in August 2024. The building's systems management appears inconsistent, as evidenced by an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection. However, in more recent developments, the property has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs during the 2023-2025 reporting period, and though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2017 and 2021, inspections in subsequent years have generally shown passing results or bait application.
