1170 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11239

1170 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York is a 12-story, 122-unit residential building constructed in 1998 and currently owned by David Greenfield. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with seven documented incidents between 2023 and 2025, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. Most recently, in January 2025, both heat and hot water were reported restored at the time of inspection.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical outlet issues, appliance problems (notably with refrigerators), and door/window maintenance needs, with multiple complaints resolved between 2023 and 2025. Historically, the building has had concerns with pests and maintenance issues. In 2021, there were documented bedbug infestations in apartments 8C and 9F, and in 2018, apartment 9D had a roach infestation.

Multiple violations were recorded from 2009-2018, including water leakage and maintenance issues in 12D and 12E, though all have been resolved. The building's elevator system has been subject to inspection and violation notice in 2025, with a previous similar complaint in 2021 that resulted in no violations being found. While there was significant pest activity earlier in the 2020s, recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations, with the most recent reports indicating zero infested units. The most recent building inspection results from 2012-2025 generally show issues being addressed, though the recurring heat and hot water problems remain a notable concern.
