1239 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

Located in Crown Heights, 1239 Pacific Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building built in 1910 and currently owned by Jacob Scherman. The property has experienced ongoing rodent-related issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints and sightings recorded, including an ongoing "Condition Attracting Rodents" complaint filed in May 2025 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has also faced recurring garbage and recycling storage concerns, with several unsanitary condition complaints filed in 2025, though HPD inspections determined these did not violate housing laws.

Significant maintenance issues were documented in 2024-2025, particularly affecting apartment 3, including problems with hot water (Class C violation), broken shower tiles, ceiling plaster issues, and other maintenance needs, though many of these violations have subsequently been certified as corrected. The building has a history of mechanical system challenges, including heating and hot water issues in late 2024 that warranted emergency complaints. Multiple violations related to electrical wiring were recorded in 2019, though several were dismissed or resolved through inspections.

Recent building management actions include addressing a "Plumbing Work – Illegal/No Permit" violation in May 2025 and a boiler-related issue in December 2024, both resulting in Oath Violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with zero reported infestations or evacuations in the past five years. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, the frequency of rodent-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
