2742 Pitkin Avenue is a 40-unit, 4-story residential tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Git Leb LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints between late 2020 and early 2021, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. More recent concerns include plumbing problems and water leaks in January 2025, as well as multiple safety violations identified in September 2024, including obstructed fire escapes and unsafe electrical wiring conditions.
Three significant safety-related complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding smoke detectors, window guards, and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has maintained a record of proper pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2018, it did fail an initial inspection in 2018 for unspecified reasons.
Various maintenance issues have been documented over the years, including unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage (2024), radiator problems (2025), and multiple violations regarding fire escape accessibility and door conditions (2023-2024). The Department of Buildings issued a violation in December 2023 regarding energy efficiency score display, though this was dismissed in January 2024. All documented violations have generally been addressed and closed, with the most recent ones being from 2024-2025 indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
