2159 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 2159 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Charlene Mclean, has experienced several significant maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed and inspected, revealing issues including mold, plumbing problems (sink and toilet), and safety concerns related to smoke detectors.

Additionally, there were inspections in April 2025 regarding door/window-related problems and a gas range appliance issue. The building has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from June 2024 concerning apartment 1A, including reports of rodent infestation (both roaches and mice), a broken bathroom washbasin, and lack of hot water in fixtures, while a violation from June 2024 regarding unit 3B notes a missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide device, along with another roach infestation. Earlier troubles include a concerning incident in January 2022 when a partial vacate order was issued over building stability concerns, with subsequent environmental violations noting ceiling collapse in apartment 4B, for which a penalty of $6,250 was imposed.

The building's maintenance record shows some recurrence of discrepancies in safety equipment, particularly with smoke detectors, and various door/window issues. On a positive note, the building has maintained consistent bedbug-free status in recent years, with no reported infestations in the past seven annual reporting periods through 2025. The property has a mix of open and resolved violations, with the most pressing issues appearing to center around safety systems (smoke detectors) and maintenance of basic facilities (plumbing, including hot water access).
