402 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit, four-story Old Law Tenement building at 402 2nd Street in Park Slope, owned by Barbara Novick, has a documented history dating back to 1920. The most recent building inspection in August 2023 revealed several administrative violations that were subsequently certified as corrected by October 2023.

These violations included the need for various safety and compliance postings in the first-story public hall, such as smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the building's registration number. Additional safety-related violations concerned the replacement of a missing electrical outlet cover plate in the second-story hallway, installation of a proper metal screen below a skylight on the fourth story, and the removal of household items obstructing access to a scuttle ladder on the fourth story.

The building's recent history shows ongoing attention to maintenance and compliance requirements, with the most recent bedbug reports (from March 2024 and December 2024) showing no evidence of infestations in any units during the reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. A notable historical complaint from 2022 regarding a window frame issue was closed due to lack of access for inspection. Earlier records from 2007 indicate a past roof leak issue in the fourth-floor apartment, which suggests that while the building has maintained compliance with current regulations and demonstrated effective pest management practices, there have been periodic maintenance and compliance requirements that have required attention over the years.
