116 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
116 South 2nd Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Williamsburg, owned by Lydia Korchow and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centering around heating system problems and building maintenance. Between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding the boiler system, including defective/inoperative conditions and violations related to backflow preventers and safety features, with inspections from May 2020 revealing various maintenance issues.
The building's heating and hot water systems were problematic, with emergency complaints filed in December 2018 indicating potential deficiencies, though inspections were unable to gain access. Sanitary conditions have also been a recurring concern, with multiple reports of mold (2021 and 2019), garbage/recycling storage issues (2019), and rodent-related problems (2019). A safety inspection in September 2018 was conducted regarding the fire escape, though no violations were found. Recent building data, including bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025, show no infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting this is not currently a pest issue.
The most recent inspection in November 2023, following a failure to maintain complaint from August 2023, resulted in no violations being warranted at the time. The building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in May 2020 and June 2019, following initial rodent activity observations in May 2019. While many historical violations in the building have been resolved, there is one active DOB violation from October 2018 regarding general maintenance requirements. The property has shown some improvements in recent years, with no new heating system complaints or significant sanitary issues reported since 2021.
