265 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

265 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Asa Real Estate LLC. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with a particularly concentrated pattern of problems in early 2025, including multiple heat/hot water complaints (January 3, 8, and 22) and plumbing issues involving bathtubs and toilets. A more recent water leak complaint from January 2025 also presented access issues for inspection.

The building has an active violation regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021. In late 2024, significant violations were recorded in Apartment 14, including issues with electrical wiring, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, while Apartment 6 had violations for inadequate heat supply and door issues. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about rodent conditions in 2024, including a September inspection showing rat activity.

A bedbug occurrence was recorded in late 2024, though it appears to have been addressed as the unit was marked as eradicated. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and persistent issues, with some complaints requiring multiple follow-ups before resolution. Historical data from previous years (2010-2020) shows a pattern of rodent activity, particularly in 2014-2016, though more recent inspections have been less frequent. The most recent housing code violations suggest ongoing concerns about building systems and safety equipment, while the emergency service requests from early 2025 indicate continuing infrastructure challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
