507 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story New Law Tenement building at 507 2nd Street in Park Slope, owned by Reyad Farraj, has been in operation since 1920 and contains 8 residential units. The property has consistently faced housing maintenance challenges over the past several years, with the most recent concerning pattern being recurring violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024.

These class A violations remain open as of April 2024, with the same infraction noted annually for four consecutive years. The building has also undergone several construction-related activities, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022, primarily for plumbing (PL) and electrical (EW) work under job number 321944063, with the most recent permits issued in October 2022.

Historical records show the building experienced rodent issues in early 2017, with initial inspections revealing rat activity in February 2017, though subsequent inspections in March and June of that year passed inspection. Additionally, there was a construction enforcement complaint in May 2019 that resulted in a stop work order being issued and subsequently rescinded within a week. The building's permit history from 2019 to 2022 indicates regular maintenance and improvement work being carried out, with multiple permits issued for various systems upgrades, though the persistence of bedbug report violations suggests ongoing compliance issues with housing maintenance requirements.
