1898 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1898 Pacific Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Darell Stevens. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with three emergency complaints in early 2025 alone, though some recent HPD inspections did not find violations. There have been multiple plumbing-related complaints in 2024 and 2025, including bathtub/shower problems and water supply issues, with at least one violation issued in February 2025.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024 when significant violations were documented in apartment 12 regarding heating systems, bathroom fixtures, and various building components including doors and windows. These issues included problems with acoustic devices, carbon monoxide detectors, and security features, though the owner certified some corrections between late 2023 and early 2024. The property has undergone several housing inspections since 2018, with varying results regarding rodent activity - most notably, frequent rat activity was recorded between June 2022 and December 2022, though bait was applied in January 2023.

Fortunately, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2021 through 2024. Recent maintenance patterns suggest persistent challenges with basic building systems, particularly in the areas of heat, water supply, and plumbing, with multiple emergency complaints indicating ongoing resident concerns. The most recent inspection attempt in May 2025 regarding water supply issues was unsuccessful due to access problems, leaving this complaint unresolved as of the latest data in October 2023.
