251 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The five-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building at 251 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Lucas Hulleberg and built in 1914, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing construction lead dust violations from July 2024 affecting common areas and multiple apartments, which remain unresolved as of now. The building has had recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints documented in March 2023 and December 2023, though reports indicate conditions were restored.
Additional maintenance concerns include a September 2024 mailbox violation affecting Apartment #16, various open window-related violations in Apartment 12 from May 2023, and a C-class violation regarding self-closing doors. The building's plumbing systems have generated multiple complaints, including a February 2023 toilet issue and a September 2024 water supply problem, both classified as immediate emergencies. The property appears to have maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last five annual reporting periods (2020-2025), and while there was initial rat activity noted in 2018, subsequent inspections have shown no further rodent issues.
Recent improvement work seems to have been properly permitted, with multiple permits issued in 2018 for electrical and plumbing work. However, there have been documented issues with access during inspections, notably regarding an inspection for work without a permit in July 2024 and a complaint about excessive debris in August 2018. The building's management has generally addressed complaints relatively quickly, with most recent HPD inspections finding no violations for various complaints, though several violations from 2023 and 2024 remain open or in progress, particularly concerning lead dust and window repairs.
