Augrented Insights Report for 237 South 2nd Street

237 South 2nd Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1907 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Scott Jaffee. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with eight documented complaints between December 2023 and March 2025, including several attempts by HPD to inspect the issues that were met with access challenges.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2023, when violations were recorded for multiple issues in apartment 3G, including problems with wall surfaces, floor tiles, and bathroom conditions. This unit also had confirmed pest control issues requiring violation notices for roach infestation in both 2021 and 2023.

The building underwent several Department of Buildings inspections and permit issuances between 2020-2022, with most permits relating to exterior work, though no significant violations were recorded during these inspections. The property has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported from 2019 to 2024, and passed a rodent inspection in 2018, though occasional issues with unsanitary conditions and ventilation systems have been reported. The frequency of heat-related complaints, combined with access issues during inspections, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though many complaints have been resolved promptly with heat and hot water restoration being confirmed by tenants during HPD follow-ups.
