1236 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1236 Pacific Street is a 41-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1920 located in Crown Heights, currently owned by Mordechai Appelbaum. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with the most recent complaints about no heat or hot water affecting the entire building reported in February and December 2024. Building-wide inspections were completed but access issues complicated assessments.
The property has documented multiple maintenance issues in 2024, including problems with plumbing (bathtubs/showers), electrical gas ranges, flooring, and plaster, with some violations issued and requiring correction. Significant concerns were noted regarding lead paint hazards in the December 2023 inspection, with HPD indicating the need for follow-up testing. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service between 2020 and 2024, resulting in both Oath violations and inspections, though some inspections found no violations at the time.
In 2023, there was an incident involving work without proper permits related to a fire escape extension, though the associated penalty was listed as $0. Recent inspections in 2025 indicated rodent activity, though the most recent July 2025 inspection passed. The building has maintained a relatively low frequency of pest issues, with only one documented bedbug case in 2020-2021, and subsequent years showing no infestations. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been addressed and certified as resolved, including issues with faucets, cabinet repairs, and wall surfaces in apartments 4A and 1C, primarily from 2024.
