1498 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1498 Pacific Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Doron Yousfan. The property has experienced several notable incidents over recent years, with particular attention required for pest-related issues.

Most significantly, from 2019-2023, there were multiple reports and inspections related to rodent activity, including three documented rat sightings in 2019 that prompted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reviews, and inspections in March and April 2019 that confirmed rat activity. While the building had a relatively pest-free period following these incidents, including passing a May 2018 rodent inspection, recent records show consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting obligations, with the most recent submission in March 2024 indicating no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period.

Between 2021 and 2023, the property received three Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations specifically regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though these violations are marked as closed in the records. The building's recent history shows improved pest management, with no documented rodent activity or bedbug infestations since 2019, suggesting that previous pest issues may have been addressed. However, the concentration of both rodent and bedbug-related violations raises potential concerns about the building's historical pest management challenges, though recent records indicate improved conditions.
