2344 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

2344 Pacific Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Brownsville, built in 1901 and currently owned by Abe Fixler. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in mid-2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for mold, ceiling problems, and plumbing issues.

These led to multiple violations being issued, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) which was found to have defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as problems with water leaks, plaster surfaces, and paint conditions. More recently, in August 2024, additional violations were recorded regarding fire egress safety involving a defective iron ladder to the roof scuttle in the public hallway, though this remains in open violation status. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various issues over the past several years, including pest problems (with multiple complaints between 2020-2021), heat and hot water disruptions, and work conducted without proper permits.

In 2021, there were enforcement actions related to an illegal cellar conversion, which resulted in violations concerning unauthorized plumbing installations and occupancy changes. The property has maintained a stable bedbug and rodent inspection record since 2019, with no infestations reported in recent filings and passing results in multiple rodent inspections, though there was one failure for 'Other Reasons' in 2018. While many earlier violations have been resolved and certified as corrected, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and water-related issues in the most recent inspection period.
