1596 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 4-story, 8-unit tenement at 1596 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Chanie Spitzer, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, between March and April 2025, the building received multiple emergency complaints, including issues with mold, unsafe smoke detectors, and problematic flooring.
These emerged during a cluster of complaints filed in March 2025, including reports of water leaks, plumbing issues, and various maintenance problems, many of which resulted in issued violations. The building's maintenance history shows persistent water-related issues, as evidenced by violations and complaints regarding leaks in both 2024 and 2025. The property has an ongoing pattern of housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 1R, with open violations as of November 2024 concerning mold, water leaks, flooring, and pest infestations including mice and roaches.
The building's boiler system has been a recurring concern, with violations related to boiler maintenance and inspections noted in 2022 and 2023, including environmental control board violations for failure to provide access for inspection. Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspection reports from 2017-2023, indicating potential issues with building system maintenance compliance. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years (2020-2025), the presence of other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
