1261 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1261 Pacific Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Sam Wurzberger and classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A." The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding water and pest problems. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent activity reports, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance but previous inspections indicating rat activity. The property has also faced multiple plumbing and maintenance challenges, including water leak issues in 2024-2025, heating problems in early 2025, and various paint/plaster violations particularly affecting ceiling and wall surfaces.

The building's history reveals significant concerns about unauthorized alterations and occupancy issues. In 2019, violations were documented regarding illegal duplex conversions between basement and cellar stories, particularly affecting 1R and 1F apartments, along with unauthorized stair installations. These violations remain open as of the latest available data.

The property has also undergone several inspected repairs and maintenance actions, with some resulting in violations being issued. Recent inspections have shown some improvement, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and recent rodent inspections resulting in passing grades. However, the building continues to show patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly during seasonal transitions when heating issues have been reported. The most recent inspection data from mid-2025 indicates passing grades for rodent issues, though there has been inconsistent compliance in previous months.
