2 Arlington Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit building at 2 Arlington Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Alister Cobham and constructed in 1884, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly during 2022. The most notable cluster of problems occurred between August and October 2022, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, including three separate complaints of pests that led to violations.

During this same period, there were emergency complaints regarding cooking gas and plumbing issues involving a basin/sink, both of which resulted in violations. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in 2022, including problems with a refrigerator, mold presence, and various building safety violations identified through inspections. Recent inspections have shown some improvement in building conditions, particularly regarding pest management, with rodent inspections conducted regularly between 2019 and 2025 consistently passing.

However, as of April 2024, there are still several open violations that require attention, including unfiled annual bedbug reports from 2022 and 2023, missing proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements, building entrance door issues, and various safety notice requirements. Specific apartment 3F has documented violations related to gas supply, waste line obstructions, and a defective self-closing door. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections and shows some improvement in maintenance compliance, the presence of open violations and the history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with proper upkeep, though many of the previous pest-related complaints from 2022 do not appear to be recurring issues, as evidenced by the consistently passing rodent inspections.
