2352 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit building at 2352 Pacific Street in Brownsville, owned by Arville Francis and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between December 2023 and February 2024. Inspections have shown these conditions were either resolved or could not be verified due to lack of access.

The building has also faced persistent pest problems, particularly in apartment 1A, with violations related to roach and rodent infestations documented in recent HPD inspections. Other significant violations include safety concerns such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1A (December 2023), broken kitchen flooring (January 2024), and a blocked second means of egress with stationary window bars noted in December 2023, for which an Environmental Control Board violation with a $3,125 penalty is currently active. All complaints and violations are either closed or open, with several recent violations still pending resolution as of June 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows some basic safety and maintenance issues, including the need for door repairs and updates to inspection certificate displays near mailboxes (June 2023). Notably, the building has passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, though recent pest-related violations suggest an ongoing issue. The property has a documented pattern of heat and pest problems over the past year and several unresolved violations that should be monitored.
