1918 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1918 Pacific Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building in Crown Heights, constructed in 2000 and currently owned by Rav Chaim LLC. The property has experienced consistent pest-related issues over recent years, with multiple rodent reports occurring between 2022 and 2025, including three rodent sightings/infestation reports in 2025 alone. The building has undergone various inspections showing repeated rat activity, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 confirming continued rodent presence.

Significant maintenance issues were documented between 2022 and 2023, including mold (specifically in Apartment 2), unsanitary conditions, and multiple violations related to building safety. In 2023, the building's violation history revealed non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and safety device issues (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2). Prior to this, there were multiple complaints regarding the building's appliance conditions, water leaks, and garbage storage. The building's regulatory history raises certain concerns, with documented violations related to an allegedly converted cellar space and questionable occupancy issues.

There have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2018 and 2023, including illegal conversions and plumbing work without permits, though many of these complaints were marked "Unable to Gain Access" during inspections. The property owner has faced several ECB violations for failure to comply with correction orders, particularly regarding building occupancy and bedbug reporting requirements, with penalties totaling thousands of dollars. Most recently, in 2024, there was an active ECB violation for work conducted without a permit related to a converted bathroom. While the building's bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 shows zero infested units, the persistent rodent issues and other maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining building conditions.
