663 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit building at 663 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, owned by Stephen Cobb and constructed in 1922, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though the problem appeared resolved upon inspection.

The building has also faced persistent pest issues, with open violations as of October 2023 documenting infestations of both roaches and mice in apartment 1F, and previous violations from 2022 requiring annual bedbug reporting. The property has a history of water-related problems, including several complaints and violations regarding leaks, most notably in December 2021 involving multiple units, and a heavy flow leak reported in 2019.

Multiple open violations from December 2021 remain concerning, including issues with plaster surfaces and paint in both public areas and individual units (notably in apartment 2R), as well as ongoing roof leak problems affecting both unit and common areas. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system issues, with complaints recorded in December 2021 and most recently in January 2025, suggesting this may be an ongoing infrastructure challenge. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2016 and 2012, its most recent inspection results from 2015 showed a failure for unspecified reasons, indicating potential past concerns with vermin control that require monitoring.
