Augrented Insights Report for 242 South 2nd Street

Located at 242 South 2nd Street in Williamsburg, this 6-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building was constructed in 1914 and is currently owned by Nora Donkor. The property has experienced recurring electrical issues recently, with power outages reported in March and April 2023, though these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations issued in April 2023, while the March 2023 outage had conditions verified as corrected.

The building underwent significant concerns with construction-related issues in May 2020, with multiple complaints about lead dust and air quality affecting both common areas and apartments, leading to several HPD and Department of Health (DOHMH) inspections and advisories. Multiple housing maintenance violations have been documented, particularly relating to gas supply and safety equipment. In 2020, violations were issued for inadequate gas supply in apartments 33 and 7, and issues were noted regarding smoke detector functionality.

The building has also faced security concerns, with open violations recorded in 2019 regarding entrance door functionality and required self-closing mechanisms. While the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program with no reported infestations in recent years (2020-2024), and passed several rodent inspections in 2018-2019, there remains an open violation as of June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2020 external low pressure inspection. Other historical issues include pest problems and maintenance concerns documented in 2018-2020, though many of these have been addressed or closed through various inspection processes.
