1302 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1302 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, built in 1903 and currently owned by Moshe Deutsch, has experienced numerous maintenance and service issues in recent months. Most significantly, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water throughout the building, with multiple complaints filed between January and April 2025. The building has also been dealing with persistent electrical issues, including a recent April 2025 complaint about outlets and switches that resulted in violations being issued.

Earlier complaints in March 2025 highlighted problems with the building's door and intercom systems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these issues. The building has had ongoing pest control challenges, with documented rat activity throughout 2024-2025, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications. In late 2024, enforcement actions were taken against apartment 4C, revealing several maintenance issues that required attention, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), bathroom repairs, and missing safety devices.

The property has a history of building-wide emergency maintenance issues, though many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections confirming corrections. A notable violation from November 2024 related to inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance was documented, and there is an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding an unregistered boiler found in the basement from 2020, with a $625 penalty still due. The building has undergone multiple bedbug treatments in recent years, though the most recent reports indicate no active infestations as of 2024-2025.
