79 2nd Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-unit, three-story building at 79 2nd Place in Carroll Gardens, owned by Andrew Salomon, is a 1901 Old Law Tenement class structure with some regulatory compliance challenges. Most notably, there are ongoing issues with the annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in both April and March 2024 for failure to file the necessary annual reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

This pattern of non-compliance is concerning, especially given the building's history of bedbug reporting: during the 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 reporting periods, the filings indicated no infested or eradicated units, though the recent violations suggest potential oversight in maintaining up-to-date records. The building has experienced some structural/maintenance issues in the past, including a 2019 incident involving an illegal fence installation that prompted both a Department of Buildings complaint and Environmental Control Board violation.

The case involved a plastic fence in the rear yard that exceeded the 6-foot height limit by approximately 10 feet, requiring the owner to obtain proper permits, for which a fine of $625 was imposed and subsequently resolved. While this incident was addressed, it demonstrates previous regulatory non-compliance regarding construction modifications. The property's documented history shows a particular focus on compliance issues in recent years, with most violations centering around reporting requirements rather than direct safety or maintenance concerns.
