156 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

156 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Javier Pinon. The property has experienced recurring pest-related issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns involving rodent activity, as evidenced by rat sightings reported in August 2024 and confirmed during inspections in September 2024.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting pattern over the past several years, though recent filings (June 2024 and October 2022) indicate no infested units were reported between 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, with all units listed as "0" for infestation, eradication, and re-infestation counts. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has documented multiple complaints about daycare facilities and summer camps near the property in June 2022, though these complaints were eventually closed.

The building's history also shows a few complaints regarding Certificate of Occupancy issues (in 2021 and 2022), but investigations found no violations warranted at the time of inspection. While the property has met annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, the recent rodent activity and health department violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance. Notably, the most significant health concerns appear to be the rodent problems, as indicated by multiple inspections and service requests over the past two years, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene finding violations that required follow-up inspections in August 2024.
