1692 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1692 Pacific Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 2020 and currently owned by Joe Davidson. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with two unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests filed in late 2023 and early 2024, though HPD was unable to access the premises for inspection in both cases. The building's early years (2020-2021) were marked by several concerning incidents, including multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance requirements.

These violations, primarily recorded in December 2021, included failures to post required safety notices, maintain proper smoke detector requirements, and self-close cellar doors, though most were subsequently certified as corrected in 2022. During construction, there were two significant violations issued in September 2020 against Betterbuilt Builders Inc. for inadequate safety netting and work not conforming to approved plans, resulting in a $625 penalty.

The building's maintenance history shows several non-emergency complaints in 2021, including issues with the bell/intercom system, slow water leaks, and flooring concerns, all of which were inspected by HPD with no violations found. More recently, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four reporting periods from 2022-2025, and there have been no new significant complaints or violations noted in recent years. The building underwent proper permit processes during construction, with multiple permits issued between late 2019 and 2020 for various work types including new construction, plumbing, and electrical work. While there have been some maintenance issues throughout the building's history, recent years have shown improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the recurring pest complaints in 2023-2024 remain notable.
