1531 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, four-unit building at 1531 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Joann Parks, has been standing since 1879 and has undergone various regulatory scrutiny over the years. Most recently, the building has been proactive about maintaining its bedbug-free status, with six consecutive annual reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units.

The property had one rat sighting in August 2022, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent inspection found no violations. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, and passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and other recent years, indicating generally good pest management practices. Historically, the building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 1997 when multiple violations were documented in apartment 1, including issues with exposed electrical wires, lack of electricity, problems with bathroom tiles, and a non-compliant drop ceiling in the basement duplex.

These violations were listed as open with no certification dates, though some may have been addressed subsequently. More recent violations include a 2015 lighting issue at the front entrance, which remains open, and an annual bedbug reporting violation from 2021-2023. The building's current status suggests improved overall maintenance, with no recent violations since 2023 and consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
