424 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-unit, three-story brownstone at 424 Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Simon Dallimore and built in 1852, is currently facing multiple significant regulatory challenges as of April 2024. Most notably, the building has accumulated four open violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports with HPD between 2021 and 2024, marking a concerning pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements.

The property has also faced serious occupancy-related violations, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations between 2020 and 2021 totaling over $37,000 in penalties that remain active, indicating ongoing non-compliance. These violations pertain to illegal occupancy issues, including unauthorized commercial use of the basement and first floors for photo/film production purposes in a residential district, which was documented in September 2020. The building's history includes several complaints about illegal conversions and hotel room use within the residential building between 2020 and 2021, all of which resulted in Oath Violations Being Served.

However, these specific complaints are now closed. The ECB violations from 2021 involve failure to comply with Commissioner's orders to file Certificates of Correction related to previous occupancy violations, with penalties ranging from $1,280 to $6,250. Despite these numerous violations and associated penalties, the building's current status as of 2024 shows persistent open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, suggesting ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and maintenance oversight.
