1467 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-story, 7-unit apartment building at 1467 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by James Soulters and dating back to 1891, is currently facing multiple significant issues as of 2025. The building has open violations as of June 2024, including illegal rooming units in the cellar, unlawful cooking spaces, and unauthorized plumbing fixtures. These violations suggest the building has been converted from its original Class A status to an illegally modified configuration.

Recent housing maintenance code violations indicate continuing concerns with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pest infestations and stairs/flooring issues, though inspections have not resulted in violations being issued. There is also an active Environmental Control Board violation as of January 2023 regarding the unauthorized conversion of the building, with penalties totaling $37,500. The building has a documented history of pest control issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and inspection records throughout 2023-2025, including rat activity reports in both 2024 and 2025.

Recent rodent inspections show ongoing concerns, with bait applications continuing throughout 2024 and into 2025. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple complaints about walls, stairs, and garbage storage, though most recent inspections have not resulted in violations. The building's management has faced scrutiny for failing to comply with orders and for difficulties in allowing inspectors access to verify conditions, as evidenced by several "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" notations in complaint records. While the Department of Buildings investigated multiple complaints about illegal conversion in 2024, no violations were warranted at the time of inspection, despite the building's current active ECB violations regarding unauthorized units and modifications.
