618 Pine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

618 Pine Street is a two-story, two-family residential building located in East New York, owned by Ella Shelton and built in 1930. The property has recently experienced several concerning maintenance issues, with the most significant being a power outage in June 2025 that elicited an HPD inspection attempt.

Between April and May 2025, there were multiple service requests related to unsanitary conditions, particularly involving pests, though most inspections were unable to be completed. The building has documented issues with sewage (April 2025), water leaks/damp spots (April 2025), and wall conditions, though no violations were found in the latter two cases. A cluster of pest-related complaints was recorded in April 2025, with most inspections being unsuccessful in gaining access to verify the conditions.

The property is also currently under scrutiny for an active illegal conversion complaint as of April 2025, with inspection attempts made in June 2025. Despite these recent challenges, it's worth noting that the building has passed three separate rodent inspections conducted in 2012, 2016, and 2022, suggesting some level of maintenance oversight in this particular area. The density of recent complaints, particularly regarding unsanitary conditions and the inability of inspectors to gain access during multiple visits, may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
