347 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 10-unit, 4-story converted Class A building at 347 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Marc Cohen, has experienced several notable incidents and violations since 2018. The building, constructed in 1920, faced multiple maintenance issues in late 2018, including heat and hot water failures throughout the building in October (an emergency situation), followed by complaints in December regarding a slow water leak and cabinet problems.

While these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued, they indicate some past maintenance challenges. More recent inspections have revealed some concerning issues: as of March 2023, there is an active Department of Buildings violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, and the building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2018 regarding required gas leak notification procedures and housing information guide availability.

On a positive note, the building has demonstrated effective pest management in recent years, with the most recent three bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing zero infested dwelling units, and previous infestations in 2020 were fully eradicated (10 units) with no re-infestations. The building's bedbug reporting compliance has been consistent since 2021, with no reported units requiring treatment in the past three filing periods, though the property did experience a full infestation requiring eradication procedures in 2020. The combination of open violations related to safety notifications and an outstanding DOB inspection issue warrants attention, while the successful management of bedbug issues over the past several years is noteworthy.
