119 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 119 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg, owned by George Newshan, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in January 2022, there was a complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues, though the Department of Buildings inspection found no violations at that time.

The building has maintained a consistent record of successful bedbug inspections over the past five years (2020-2024), with no confirmed infestations reported in any of the annual filings. However, there has been a recurring pattern of rodent activity, particularly evident in 2011 when multiple bait applications were required between September and November.

More recently, the building faced two instances of rat activity in 2017 and 2020, though it passed subsequent inspections in February 2021 and April 2019. While the property has demonstrated some challenges with pest control over the years, the absence of bedbug infestations and recent inspections passing without violations suggest improved management of these issues. The building's age and history as an old law tenement are typical for this neighborhood, though the documented events do not indicate any immediate or ongoing safety concerns.
