1327 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1327 Pacific Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1880 and currently owned by Max Nager. The property has experienced consistent rodent activity throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) showing rat sightings and violations, including recent rat activity detected in inspections through June 2025. In March 2025, several significant maintenance issues were reported, including heavy water leakage, electrical problems with outlets/switches, intercom system issues, and ceiling plaster problems, resulting in violations that required correction within specific timeframes.

The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in July 2024, revealing multiple violations requiring attention: including problems with self-closing doors, scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and various fire safety concerns. Recent inspections have shown active DOB violations as of June 2025, though some earlier violations from 2022 were dismissed in May 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported instances from 2019 through 2024, and all previous infestation cases were properly addressed and eradicated according to the records. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent rodent issues, with the most recent inspections continuing to find rat activity despite baiting efforts throughout 2024.

However, in contrast to these ongoing sanitation concerns, the property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, demonstrating effective pest management in that regard. The July 2024 inspection identified various safety-related violations, including problems with self-closing doors and fire egress features, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The most recent health department inspections in 2025 indicate continued rodent challenges, with violations requiring follow-up inspections. While the building has historical issues with maintenance responsiveness, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations, the property management has generally addressed violations within the required timeframes, as shown by the "Closed" status of many complaints.
