1552 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, three-unit building at 1552 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Greg Hoerz and constructed in 2004, has experienced several maintenance issues, most notably in July-August 2022 when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints included electrical problems (outlet/switch issues), water leaks (specifically slow leaks), sanitation concerns (mold), ceiling paint/plaster problems, and a fire escape safety issue.

The August 2022 inspection resulted in several open violations for Apartment 3, including problems with self-closing doors, roof leaks affecting the kitchenette ceiling, and a requirement to repaint certain areas with light-colored paint. Common area issues were also identified, including defective fire egress, additional roof leak concerns, problems with fire retardant materials, and encumbrances in the third-story public hall.

More recent building history shows a consistent pattern of addressing pest control, with annual bedbug reporting from 2020-2024 showing zero infested units in all five reports. The building underwent a rodent inspection in May 2018, which passed, and there was one permit issued to the Department of Buildings in December 2018 related to plumbing work (job number 321267008). As of October 2023, the building still has several open violations from the 2022 inspections that require attention, including issues with the fire escape, roof leaks, and various maintenance and safety concerns, though no new complaints or violations have been recorded in the past year.
