699 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 699 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Christian Orejuela and constructed in 1923, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues throughout its recent history. Most notably, during June 2019, significant maintenance problems were reported and subsequently addressed within a week, including issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, doors, plumbing (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), and refrigerator.

These repairs were completed, though there remains an open violation from June 2019 concerning a door issue in the 2F apartment. A series of annual bedbug reporting violations were noted between 2021-2023, though the most recent 2024 filing shows no reported infestations or eradications. The building has maintained relatively good pest control records, with rodent inspections passing in 2012 and 2011, despite a failed inspection in February 2011.

A complaint regarding possible illegal conversion was filed in July 2018, but the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the situation. The property has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from June 2019 related to the 2F apartment, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms, the bell/buzzer system, kitchen waste line connections, bathroom faucet leaks, and missing or defective window guards. While these violations remain open in the system, their age (now over six years) suggests they may have been addressed, though official closure documentation is not present in the available records.
