1581 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

At 1581 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, this 3-story, 4-unit residential building built in 1910 under the ownership of Cynthia Ramirez has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of mold (with the latest emergency complaint in July 2024), water leaks including a heavy flow incident in January 2024, and pest infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 3 on the second floor.

The Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in July 2024 for Apartment 3 included mold, water leak, plaster damage, and vermin issues, with some violations currently marked as Open or requiring further action. The building has also faced various other maintenance concerns, including problems with doors/windows, plumbing (radiator issues), and pest control, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints in both 2023 and 2024. The property has a history of addressing these issues through inspections and repairs, with several violations being certified as corrected by September 2024.

Previous years' records show attention to various maintenance matters, including a 2019 stop work order that was fully rescinded, indicating some historical compliance issues. However, more recently there have been fewer documented problems between 2022-2023, with the building showing zero bedbug infestations reported in the past five filing periods (2020-2024). The building has undergone some permitted work between 2018-2021, including plumbing and electrical work, though the frequency of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems.
