591 Pine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit building at 591 Pine Street in East New York, owned by Errol Gaton, has a documented history of infrastructure challenges and pest management issues over recent years. Most concerning are two recent emergency situations in late 2024-early 2025 involving electrical problems and an entire-building heat/hot water outage, with the electrical issue resulting in an incomplete HPD inspection.

Between 2020 and 2022, the property faced significant rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in fall 2020, followed by successive bait applications in spring 2022. The building has also grappled with compliance matters, receiving identical Bedbug Reporting violations in 2022 and 2023, though subsequent filings indicate no infestations or related issues from late 2022 through 2024. The property's recent maintenance history shows some improvements in pest management, with the most recent rat inspections between April and May 2022 resulting in bait application, and no further rodent complaints recorded since then.

The Bedbug Reporting violations from 2022-2023 appear to have been resolved, with the 2024 filing showing zero infested units. However, the recent heating, hot water, and electrical issues raise concerns about the building's current systems and maintenance responsiveness. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," was subject to these ongoing compliance requirements and service requests, suggesting an ongoing need for careful monitoring of building systems and infrastructure.
