1284 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

This four-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building at 1284 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Yosi Cohen, was constructed in 1893 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including a December 2023 violation affecting Apartment 4A, along with multiple heat-related complaints in 2019 and 2020. The building has also faced electrical and ventilation system concerns, with emergency wiring issues reported in May 2023 and a general ventilation complaint from the same month that remained unresolved until November 2023.

Safety and maintenance violations include multiple open issues from March 2023 concerning missing safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, emergency procedures, and locked boiler room access, as well as a locked facility access issue reported in December 2023. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2024). Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, showing consistent passing results since 2019, indicating effective pest management.

While there are several open violations and maintenance issues requiring attention, the building does receive regular inspections and generally addresses reported problems, as evidenced by the closure of numerous previous complaints. A recent complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in April 2025, though the inspector was unable to access the property on the first attempt in June 2025. The building's history shows a combination of recurring systemic issues (particularly with heat and water systems) and addressed violations, with the most recent concerns typically being resolved through the proper channels.
