2240 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, eight-unit tenement building at 2240 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, owned by Mel Shim, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with the most recent concerns primarily centered around heat/hot water functionality and various interior maintenance problems. Between January and April 2025, multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems were filed, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though many were resolved promptly or confirmed as previously addressed during HPD inspections. The building has also faced significant interior maintenance challenges, including persistent issues with flooring (multiple complaints), wall and ceiling conditions, and door problems.
Notably, there are several open violations from a December 2024 inspection, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (unit 3), including issues with plumbing, ceiling and wall conditions, and reported rodent infestation. The property has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2015 and 2019 showing varying degrees of infestation, though recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations during those periods. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, including confirmed violations related to plumbing, roof leaks, and interior maintenance requirements.
While some issues have been addressed promptly through HPD inspections and service requests, others remain open or were not fully resolved during inspections. Recent service requests from 2025 resulted in both violations and inspections confirming various maintenance issues, indicating a pattern of recurring maintenance needs. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no reported infestations, though the rodent inspection history shows multiple instances of rat activity from 2015 through 2019, with some inspections requiring bait application as a control measure.
