Augrented Insights Report for 389 South 2nd Street

389 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Stephen Kraus. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2023-2024, with eight emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and April 2024, some resulting in HPD violations.

Two specific apartments (1E and 5G) were cited in 2024 and 2023 respectively for hot water violations, while the October 2023 inspections also revealed an unfortunate cockroach infestation in apartment 5G. The building's elevator system has been a consistent source of problems, with multiple Oath Violations for "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2020-2022, and four active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2022 regarding required door lock monitoring installations, with penalties totaling $8,250.

Other notable violations include access issues to the heating system in October 2023, maintenance concerns in apartment 4C in 2021, and a problematic secured fastener in the vestibule door in 2024. The building's management has generally addressed violations, as evidenced by certified correction dates, and there have been no bedbug or rodent issues reported since 2018, when the property passed its rodent inspection.
