The two-family house at 78 Pitney Avenue in Woodrow, owned by Chelsea Medina, has experienced several notable health and safety concerns since its construction in 2001. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues between 2018 and 2020, with multiple complaints about conditions attracting rodents and mouse sightings, including two instances on June 2, 2019, and one on October 1, 2019. While initial inspections found violations in April 2020, subsequent evaluations in August 2020 indicated no violations. The building has also been affected by recurring poison ivy issues, with documented complaints in August 2018, June 2019, August 2020, and August 2025, though specific resolution details are limited to requiring interested parties to request inspection reports.
A significant external incident occurred in August 2022 when a fire at the neighboring property (82 Pitney Avenue) caused damage to the vinyl siding on the west wall of 78 Pitney Avenue, leading to a buildings violation that was ultimately dismissed in July 2024 after compliance was verified. The building's owner has maintained regular maintenance records, with validated property inspections occurring during various complaint investigations. While the rodent issues appear to have diminished since 2020, with no recent complaints on record, the property continues to have periodic challenges with poison ivy, though the nature of these issues suggests they may be primarily related to external landscaping rather than building interiors.
