1451 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1451 Pacific Street is a four-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights and built in 1923, currently owned by Maureen Gray. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple pest-related complaints in 2022, including a significant infestation reported in May 2022 that resulted in various violations. The property has documented rat activity in 2023 and 2024 during rodent inspections, with the most recent findings in July 2025 still indicating rat activity.

Apartments in the building have faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly during 2022 when multiple complaints were logged concerning various systems including plumbing (steam pipes/riser), electrical wiring, door issues, and wall conditions, though inspections generally found no violations. The building had a heat and hot water emergency in October 2019, which was resolved promptly according to tenant reports. Recent building inspections have revealed several violations requiring attention, including the need to file annual bedbug reports (as of 2023-2024) and one open violation from 2022 concerning roach infestation in apartment 2C.

This specific apartment had multiple violations documented in May 2022, including issues with window guards, self-closing doors, floor and cabinet conditions, wall paint requirements, and exposed electrical wiring. While the bedbug reporting from June 2024 shows no recorded infestations for the 2022-2023 period, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with pest management and building systems. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results showing both compliance and rat activity in recent years, most recently documented in July 2025.
