2676 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

2676 Pitkin Avenue is a 2-family, 2-story residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Shah Kabir. The property has experienced persistent heating issues, particularly during the winter months, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water systems. From December 2024 through April 2025 alone, there were at least seven documented incidents involving heat and hot water problems, with complaints regarding both the entire building and individual apartments.

These issues resulted in HPD inspections, some of which were unable to gain access to the affected units, though some complaints were resolved after inspections confirmed restoration of services or violated conditions requiring correction. In addition to the heating system problems, the building has faced other maintenance challenges. A 2022 complaint noted unsanitary conditions related to mold.

Historical records from 2019 document two incidents: one regarding building shaking or vibrating that resulted in a partial vacate order, and another related to construction work that was inspected but found not to warrant any violations. More recently, a rodent-related complaint was filed in September 2022, though this was linked to an earlier report and its resolution could be verified through the NYC Rat Portal. While many of the heating complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention, the frequency and systematic nature of these issues - particularly during the winter months - suggests an ongoing concern with the building's heat and hot water infrastructure.
