513 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 513 2nd Street in Park Slope, owned by Denise Borday-parris, has an extensive history dating back to its 1920 construction. The property, currently classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B, has experienced various maintenance issues over the decades. The most recent concerns center around bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024.

However, all bedbug-related incidents have shown zero infested dwelling units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The building's systems and safety features have required attention, with an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection. Historical violations from 1989, many of which are now closed, included issues with lighting at entrances, stairwell safety features, and cleanliness of common areas, though these appear to have been addressed, with certification of correction occurring in 2021 for several of these matters.

The building has faced some mechanical system challenges, as evidenced by a 2019 complaint regarding a defective/inoperative boiler, which led to an ECB violation regarding boiler room access information signage. While this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed, it highlights the building's periodic infrastructure maintenance needs. Notably, two earlier violations from 1989, which remain open but may be historical in nature, included concerns with stair balusters and bathroom ceiling plaster in the basement. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug monitoring requirements since 2020, consistently reporting zero infestations and maintaining an updated filing schedule, though there have been recurring violations related to the timely submission of required reports.
