282 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
282 South 2nd Street is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Tom Rosenberg. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, with the most recent being a slow water leak reported in May 2025 that was investigated but found not to violate HPD's housing laws. Notable problems emerged in late 2024, particularly affecting apartment E1, where multiple violations were documented including unsafe electrical wiring, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and water leakage issues.
These violations, classified as Class B & C, were subsequently closed, with some requiring repairs to plastered surfaces and addressing ceiling leaks. The building has demonstrated persistent plumbing issues, evidenced by multiple water-related complaints in 2024, including heavy flow leaks in November 2024 and various plumbing problems between April and July 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a failed inspection.
Previous inspections between 2017-2019 had shown consistent patterns of rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's maintenance record also indicates various other issues including electrical problems, wall and ceiling deterioration, and mold concerns, with several violations issued and corrected throughout 2024. Despite these challenges, the building has shown no reported bedbug activity in recent years, with official reports from 2021 to the present indicating zero infestation cases. A complaint regarding illegal conversion from March 2025 was investigated but found no violations.
