216 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
216 South 2nd Street is a five-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Lipe Gross. The property has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident comfort and safety over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2022, there was a complaint regarding indoor air quality linked to construction dust, which prompted a Department of Health advisory.
The building has faced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with annual reports required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations from 2021 to 2024, though recent filings indicate no infested units during the periods from 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. Between 2018 and 2019, the building underwent rodent control measures, with inspections showing rat activity requiring bait application, though subsequent inspections in 2019-2020 showed compliance. The building's safety systems have required attention, particularly in 2018 when violations were issued for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in unit 11, though these were certified as corrected by February 2018.
A significant violation was recorded in 2018 related to unauthorized work and failure to comply with a prior order, resulting in a $625 penalty. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with the most recent 2024 filing showing no infestation issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent records suggest improved compliance with housing regulations, particularly regarding pest control and bedbug reporting requirements.
