98 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

98 South 2nd Street is a three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg and constructed in 1899, currently owned by Robert Silverblatt. The building experienced recurring lighting issues in 2019, with two separate complaints about inadequate lighting that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in both cases.

More recently, in March 2024, there was a significant safety concern regarding a partially collapsed wooden fence at the rear of the property, which resulted in a violation from the Department of Buildings and the Environmental Control Board, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's maintenance record shows generally positive results in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024, and successful rodent inspections recorded in 2018 and 2022.

The only compliance issue noted was a failure to file the annual bedbug report in March 2022, though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent years as no further violations were recorded. While the building experienced some electrical maintenance issues in 2019, these seem to have been resolved, as no further lighting complaints have been filed in the past four years.
