1514 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1514 Pacific Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Crown Heights, owned by Fitzroy Stephens and constructed in 2001. The property has experienced several notable incidents, most recently including a structural issue in July 2022 related to damage from a fire at an adjacent property, which temporarily required a partial vacate order though this was fully rescinded by July 31, 2023. During mid-2022, there was a cluster of housing quality complaints (including issues with doors, walls, and pests) that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect upon their arrival, and similar complaints were logged through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has been subject to four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent 2024 report indicates there were no infested or re-infested units during the filing period. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections with variable results between 2014 and 2019, including one instance of rat activity in August 2019, though compliance was achieved by September 2019. Other complaints, including two construction-related issues in July 2022, were inspected but found to warrant no violations.

The building has shown some stability in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report showing no current infestations, and all four bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024 appear to have been addressed. The rodent situation improved significantly after 2019, with the final inspection passing. The structural issue resulting from a neighboring property's fire in 2022 was resolved within approximately 15 months, and there have been no reported building shaking or structural stability concerns since July 2022. The property has maintained its certification as a Class A building, though the history of various housing code violations and maintenance complaints suggests some ongoing challenges with maintaining building systems and compliance with housing regulations.
