1553 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 3-story, 4-unit building at 1553 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, currently owned by Timothy Griffith, has experienced several significant issues since 2022. Most notably, there are active Environmental Control Board violations from February 2022 relating to the illegal use of the top floor for short-term rentals, presenting serious safety concerns including inadequate egress and fire alarm systems, along with structural issues on the exterior facade.
The property has also faced recurring compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though recent filings (2024-2025) show no confirmed infestations. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water complaints, including a 2022 incident where housing inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. Between 2023-2024, there were multiple complaints regarding work without permits in an occupied multiple dwelling, though most were closed without violations being found.
Rodent inspections from 2022 show varying results, with rat activity noted in early 2022 followed by bait applications. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with no infestations reported in the last three cycles (2022-2025), and a passed rodent inspection in September 2022. Despite these improvements, the property still has active violations from 2022 regarding unauthorized changes to the building's use and serious safety concerns.
