1473 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 14-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1473 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Carl Gittens and built in 1906, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns with plumbing and electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints in 2025 regarding bathtub/shower and lighting issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these problems.
The building has faced persistent rodent control challenges, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 confirming rat activity, following multiple bait applications in 2023. Between 2023 and 2025, the property has received numerous violations related to various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems in apartment 8 (involving a defective wood vanity and wall cabinet), bathroom ceiling repairs, and issues with self-closing doors in the vestibule. Additional violations and complaints from 2024 highlight various maintenance concerns, including mold and unsanitary conditions, though some issues were addressed and certified as corrected by late 2024.
The building has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestation cases in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2025. While some improvements have been made, as indicated by closed violations and repairs, the ongoing nature of plumbing, electrical, and pest control issues suggests continuing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has maintained its classification as a New Law tenement and remains subject to applicable housing maintenance codes and regulations.
