374 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

374 South 2nd Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Hipolito Gomez. The building has experienced recurring issues with cooking gas supply, particularly notable in 2023-2024, with violations recorded in apartments 12 and 8 specifically citing inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures. There have also been multiple plumbing-related complaints, including water supply issues in 2023, and various appliance concerns particularly related to electric/gas ranges, some resulting in violations.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2023, including a roach infestation in apartment 34, inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartment 34, and issues with self-closing doors in public areas. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various systems including ventilation, electric, and plumbing, with some emergency responses required. The property has undergone several inspections related to unauthorized work, particularly in 2020-2021, with violations noted for construction activity in apartment 30 involving new electrical wiring and plumbing work without proper permits, though these issues were ultimately resolved.

Recent building-wide inspections for bedbugs and sanitation have shown no infestations reported since 2020, and there have been multiple completed rodent inspections with mostly compliant results. The building's owners have faced penalties for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports in previous years, though these violations were dismissed. Although many complaints resulted in violation orders, most have been addressed, with only a few open violations remaining as of October 2024, including issues with gas supply and door mechanisms in common areas.
