509 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 509 2nd Street in Park Slope, owned by Tamara Draut and built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between December 2024 and March 2025, the building faced multiple unresolved complaints regarding electrical lighting problems, water supply issues, and ceiling damage, with HPD unable to complete their inspections in response to these complaints.

The building also has two active violations from mid-2023 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2022. Despite these recent challenges, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's history includes past violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been addressed in subsequent years.

In 2020, there was an attempted inspection regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, but the inspector was unable to gain access. The property experienced rodent activity in 2017, with inspections in May and June of that year both confirming this issue. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports and the absence of active violations related to this specific issue suggest improvement in that particular area.
