2420 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 2420 Pacific Street in Brownsville, owned by Sharon Hakmon, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025. Current active violations include structural concerns, with recent inspections on June 9-10, 2025, noting deflection on lintels and bulging above first and second-floor windows, creating potential safety hazards for occupants and pedestrians. Additionally, a sidewalk shed is required to protect against falling debris.

Previous maintenance issues in 2018-2019 included multiple complaints about window frames and leaks in the second-floor apartment, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, though most were subsequently closed after repairs. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2025, with no reported cases in any dwelling unit, and passed rodent inspections in March 2018 and March 2019. The building's file shows a pattern of window-related issues between 2018-2019, with violations regarding broken or defective window systems, particularly in the second-floor unit.

Water-related problems were documented in December 2018, leading to violations related to damp spots and ceiling conditions. While the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passed rodent inspections, the recent structural issues represent the first significant safety concerns in several years. The building, constructed in 1927, is typical of its age with various maintenance challenges, though its recent history suggested improved conditions until the 2025 violations emerged.
