184 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

184 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Juan Ramos. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with significant complaints logged between 2024-2025 including unsanitary conditions, mold, appliance failures (range and refrigerator), and pest problems. Notably, there were pest violations documented in both 2024 and 2023, and a rodent infestation was confirmed in apartment 6C in July 2023.

The building has also faced challenges with basic utilities, experiencing a heat and hot water outage in October 2018 that required attention. Compliance violations were issued in September 2024 regarding fire retardant plaster repairs and painting requirements in the public hall stairs areas of the 5th and 6th stories, though most violations from July 2023 have been certified as corrected. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2020 through 2025, with no reported infestations during the past five reporting periods.

Rodent inspections have shown varying results, with confirmed rat activity in March 2023 and multiple instances of such activity recorded in 2010. Historical records from 2021 and 2020 indicate some plumbing and water leak issues, and a garbage storage problem noted in 2020 was resolved without violations. Recent 311 complaints from late 2024 were all investigated by HPD, though none resulted in violations. While the building has active violations requiring attention, particularly concerning repairs and maintenance in common areas, many older complaints have been addressed through various inspections and corrective actions.
