1237 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

This four-story, seven-unit residential building at 1237 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Helen Jacobs and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues over the past several years. The building has consistently faced pest-related challenges, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passing after a pattern of both rat activity and compliance passes since 2021.

Bedbug reporting compliance appears to have improved, with the most recent 2024 report showing no infested units, following similar results in prior years since 2022. The building has a significant record of maintenance violations, particularly from a 2019 inspection that revealed multiple open violations including security concerns (locked scuttle cover, non-self-closing doors), safety requirements (missing gas leak notice), and maintenance issues (ceiling paint requirements, unauthorized alterations). While many of these violations were documented as "closed," their nature suggests persistent maintenance challenges.

More recent inspections have shown improved compliance in some areas, particularly with regular rodent inspections passing consistently since late 2024 and an apparent resolution of bedbug issues. However, there remains one open violation from 2019 regarding paint requirements for the third-story public hall ceiling. The building's recent history (2023-2025) shows improved maintenance and inspection outcomes compared to earlier years, though the consistency of the building's passing inspections and reports suggests ongoing attention to pest management and general maintenance requirements.
