185 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

185 South 2nd Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Lisa Steiner. The property has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with the most recent significant events occurring in 2020-2024. In December 2020, the building faced water damage issues at the third floor level, specifically in Apartment #4, where approximately 24" x 24" sections of bedroom ceiling showed water stains and missing paint, though this violation was later resolved with no penalties imposed.

Prior to this, in 2019-2020, there were multiple complaints regarding construction activity and its impact on adjacent buildings, including concerns about building vibration and structural stability, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action. The building's maintenance history shows recurring bedbug reporting violations in 2022 and 2023, though subsequent reports in 2024 show no evidence of infestation, with all units listed as "0" for infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Rodent inspections conducted in early 2019 revealed initial rat activity in February, followed by a compliance inspection in March that passed.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with the most recent report for the period 2022-2023 showing no issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, many have been resolved promptly, and recent records show improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent permit on file from 2018 was for equipment-related work (Job Number: 340628057), with no subsequent permit violations noted.
