191 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, 1910 building at 191 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg, owned by El Regreso, Inc., has experienced several significant issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2020, there were multiple construction-related violations, including problems with safety compliance, inadequate egress, lack of overhead protection, and failure to maintain proper documentation at the active job site.

These violations resulted in several Environmental Control Board charges, though many were ultimately resolved with no penalties or were dismissed. The building went through various construction phases between late 2019 and 2020, during which there were multiple inspections and some stop-work orders issued and subsequently rescinded. The property has had persistent rodent activity, particularly between 2018 and 2022, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait.

Most recently, in December 2023, there was a food worker hygiene complaint that was addressed and closed in June 2024. The building's health and safety record shows a mix of addressed violations and resolved complaints, with the most recent inspections indicating some improvements, though historical records suggest ongoing challenges with pest control and construction compliance. The property's most recent documented issues primarily relate to food safety and rodent control, with no significant building safety violations reported in the past few years.
