2161 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 2161 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, built in 1910, currently shows several concerning patterns of non-compliance with safety regulations under the ownership of Leo Michel. The most pressing issues stem from ongoing violations of the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug report filings, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting persistent administrative oversights in pest management documentation.

The building has accumulated multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with active violations issued between April 2022 and September 2024, indicating failure to file required safety documentation for five consecutive years. This pattern of neglect raises concerns about the maintenance of critical building systems.

Additionally, there is an active violation from June 2018 related to various mechanical and safety systems, including a defective spill switch, missing water heater flue draft diverter, and issues with cold water pipes in the boiler room, though this violation is from 2018 and may have been addressed since the penalty balance is shown as $0.00. The building's violation history, marked by both environmental control board violations and outstanding Department of Buildings citations, suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and maintenance oversight. The concentration of open violations related to both pest management and safety inspections, particularly in recent years, indicates systematic issues with both routine maintenance and required safety certification compliance.
