152 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 152 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg, owned by Harry Fisher, has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over the past five years (up to October 2023). Most notably, the building has an ongoing rodent control program, with the most recent inspections in late 2023 and 2022 showing passed results, though there were multiple instances of rat activity and bait application between 2018-2022.

The property has multiple open violations relating to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 and 2023 inspections, though no infestations were reported in the 2020-2021 filing period. In 2022, the building faced significant challenges with its water systems, including multiple complaints about water supply issues and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, though inspections did not result in violations.

Specific violations were documented for inadequate hot and cold water supply in Apartment 3, and problems with building entrance lighting. Other regulatory compliance issues have included lead paint hazard requirements for Apartment 4 (open since 2021) and various safety notice requirements regarding gas leaks and carbon monoxide detectors. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Department of Health (DOHMH) have generally shown that most code violations are addressed, though some remain open as of the latest inspections.
