241 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

241 South 2nd Street is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Aron Kapelyus. The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2024, when both heating/hot water and water supply complaints were filed with HPD. These followed a pattern of similar problems in 2021, suggesting persistent infrastructure challenges.

Notable violations were documented in 2021 regarding heat and hot water systems, and various safety compliance issues including emergency door requirements, access to heating systems, and hot water supply problems specific to apartment 4A were identified and subsequently closed. The building's elevator system appears to be a recurring concern, with complaints recorded in 2018, 2022, and most recently in December 2024. While inspections in 2018 and 2025 found no violations at the time, a July 2022 elevator violation was served, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring of this system.

The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, though annual reporting requirements have generated some violations in 2021 and 2022. Other building violations from 2021 included the need to address bicycle encumbrances in public areas, ensure proper gas leak procedures were posted, and maintain adequate building safety signage. Recent inspections in 2022 resulted in ECB violations regarding fire safety signs, elevator maintenance logs, and fuse requirements, though these were resolved with an imposed penalty of $312.
