181 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 181 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg, owned by Alon Ashourzadeh and built in 1910, has experienced significant construction activity and some associated safety concerns over the past two years. In mid-2024, the property underwent interior construction work that led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations (totaling $7,500 in penalties) related to inadequate means of egress, unauthorized structural modifications, and general safety hazards, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

The Department of Buildings documented a series of after-hours work complaints between June and December 2024, though no violations were found upon inspection. A stop work order was issued in August 2024 regarding unsafe demolition practices, but this was fully rescinded later that month.

Despite the construction activity and associated violations, 181 South 2nd Street has maintained a clean record regarding pest infestations. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show zero infested or eradicated units during all reporting periods, and rodent inspections in 2019 indicated initial rat activity in February, followed by a compliant status in March of that year, suggesting that any pest issues were addressed promptly. The building's primary concerns appear to stem from recent construction activities rather than ongoing maintenance or pest control issues, though the pattern of after-hours work complaints in 2024 may indicate some disregard for regulatory compliance during the renovation period.
