859 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

859 Pacific Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Prospect Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Benjamin Ramos Jr. The building has experienced several noteworthy events over the past few years that merit attention. Most recently, in March 2023, there were simultaneous emergency complaints regarding electrical wiring and ceiling plaster issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations.

These incidents followed a significant electrical violation in 2018 that resulted in a $400 penalty related to unsafe electrical equipment and wiring issues, which has since been resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of proper bedbug management, with annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infestation cases, though there was an outstanding bedbug report violation noted in 2022 that appears to have been resolved. Rodent inspections have revealed a mixed history, with the most recent three inspections from 2023, 2024, and 2025 showing passed results, indicating improved conditions.

However, between 2016 and 2018, there were multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait applications, particularly concerning in 2018 when there were five consecutive bait application findings. The building's most recent inspection history shows significant improvement in both rodent control and bedbug management, suggesting proactive maintenance efforts by current management. While the property has had some maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding electrical systems, these have generally been addressed promptly with no violations issued, and recent inspections have shown stable conditions overall.
