354 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
354 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Stephen Kraus. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024 involving flooring and ceiling conditions. Multiple emergency and non-emergency violations were issued in April 2024 regarding floors and ceilings, particularly affecting apartment 6A, and including water leak issues with damp spots.
Earlier maintenance challenges included various water leaks and flooring problems across multiple apartments in 2021-2023, with some inspections unable to gain access to verify the reported issues. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about single-device service and no alternate service between 2018-2024. Recent 2024 violations indicate issues with the elevator's low-pressure inspection requirements, and there are active violations from 2022 regarding elevator components needing repair.
While the building had significant bedbug infestations reported in 2019-2020 (with 11 units affected at one point), there have been no reported infestations or eradication efforts in the past four years (2021-2025), suggesting successful resolution of this issue. The property has maintained rodent-free status since passing a November 2022 inspection. The most recent housing maintenance violations from 2024 specifically cite issues with vinyl tiles and wood floor defects in apartment 6A, along with various repair needs in other units including ceiling plaster and paint concerns in apartments 5A, 5E, 3A, 3D, and 4E, though many earlier violations from 2022-2023 have been closed through proper certification.
