1273 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1273 Pacific Street is a 6-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Marvin Basch. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and throughout 2024, though inspections often found no access to verify the conditions. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in winter 2024, including complaints about window frames, flooring, and ceiling conditions, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection on multiple occasions.

A December 2023 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 4A, including issues with the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector systems, though these were certified as corrected by January 2024. More recent inspections from April 2025 have shown evidence of rat activity within the building, following earlier bait application notices in late 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular pest control efforts, with annual bedbug reports consistently indicating zero infested units since 2020.

A Department of Buildings inspection from 2019 found no violations regarding elevator service, and a 2020 violation was dismissed based on subsequent corrections. However, more recent inspections have noted ongoing issues, including an open violation from December 2023 regarding fire retardant material in the sixth-story public hall ceiling. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the completion of several Housing Maintenance Code violations, though many complaints remain subject to access challenges for proper inspection verification.
