233 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
233 South 2nd Street is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Scott Jaffee. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025, including an open complaint from December 2024 and an emergency complaint from January 2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water for the entire building.
These heating system problems have resulted in several violations, including a January 2024 violation for inadequate heat supply to apartment 5D, and a March 2023 violation for excessively hot water temperatures (146 degrees Fahrenheit) at a bathroom wash basin in apartment 1D. The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, with violations issued in December 2024 for lighting, window, and plumbing issues in apartment 1D, and various violations in February-May 2023 affecting apartment 4G, including water leak issues and damaged surfaces requiring repair. Inspection records indicate some improvements in pest management, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, though there was one reported case in 2019-2020.
Rodent inspections from 2009-2022 show mixed results, with rat activity noted in 2009-2010, though subsequent inspections passed. The building's elevator system has been a point of concern, with a 2024 complaint about lack of alternate service, though this was ultimately marked as address invalid during inspection. Various repair permits have been issued between 2020-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance activity, though the frequency of heating system complaints throughout 2023-2025 raises concerns about system reliability.
