1629 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1629 Pacific Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2016 and currently owned by Gail Schattner. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues since at least 2021, with multiple complaints and inspections noting rat activity, particularly concentrated in 2022 and early 2023. The most recent rodent-related complaints were documented in January and June 2023, with inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the June 2023 inspection reported no violations.

Nearly all these rodent complaints were addressed through inspection responses, with some resulting in bait application and others showing rat activity during initial inspections. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety concerns, including a sprinkler system-related safety complaint in January 2023, which resulted in an HPD inspection with no violations found. A series of violations were documented following an October 2021 inspection, primarily related to safety signage and building security requirements, including concerns about door locks and the need for proper emergency procedure postings.

These violations were subsequently closed after correction. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with multiple annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units. While the building's construction is relatively recent (2016), and it has passed most inspections related to major systems, the recurring nature of the rodent complaints throughout its operation suggests ongoing challenges in this area, despite some inspections showing improvements or resolutions.
