2370 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, seven-unit tenement building at 2370 Pacific Street in Brownsville, owned by Gary Neustadt and dating back to 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received multiple Class A violations during a May inspection, including failures to post required safety notices regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and building registration information in the first-story public hall.

There are also ongoing concerns about garbage/recycling storage, with an unsanitary condition complaint filed in June 2025 that remains open. The building has a documented history of water leak issues, with a slow leak complaint filed in January 2025 that was closed in June 2025. The property underwent problematic renovation work in October 2021, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $12,500 in penalties for unsafe construction practices, including hazardous storage of combustible materials and unstable staircases, though these were ultimately resolved.

Historical issues include two unsuccessful attempts to inspect boiler complaints in late 2021, and a 2022 violation related to bedbug reporting requirements, though subsequent inspections from 2022-2024 show no evidence of infestation, with all units reported as eradicated. The building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2018-2019, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2018. Most recently, permits were issued in 2022-2023 for unspecified work under job number 340773354, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements to the property.
