Is 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 6 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn?

Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since August 19, 2016. Reason on the order: illegal occupancy. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.

Does 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 5 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued June 20, 2023. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 5 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $6,191 in total. The most recent of the 5, a general construction order, was opened July 8, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was the boiler at 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn last inspected?

On February 18, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

Is 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year.

How many apartments does 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 18 residential units at 1821 Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD vacate orders, DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
