Augrented Insights Report for 359 South 2nd Street

359 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, built in 1916 and currently owned by Stephen Kraus. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns involving heat/hot water systems and water leaks.

In early 2024, there were two separate complaints about no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, followed by a water leak complaint in June 2024 that resulted in a violation being issued for roof repair requirements in apartment 6B. Other notable issues include multiple plumbing problems documented in late 2023 (affecting both sink and bathtub/shower fixtures), various defects in apartment 2A's bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and sanitary concerns such as mold and pest infestations. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025 regarding locked/blocking issues and non-compliance with safety requirements.

In 2022, two significant violations were issued related to elevator safety features, with one still showing as active with a penalty of $1,250. Recent inspections in 2025 noted no violations regarding egress issues. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units, it faced various maintenance challenges requiring attention and repairs, particularly in plumbing, heating, and general building systems, as evidenced by numerous HPD complaints and violations across different units.
