2 Pilling Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 2 Pilling Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Lax, was constructed in 1905 and has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, an intercom system malfunction was documented in the second-floor apartment, though this violation has since been addressed and closed.

The building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of pest control and sanitation, with no reported bedbug infestations since early 2024 and successful rodent inspections passing consistently through 2025, excluding a single failed inspection in August 2017 for "Other Reasons" - the specific nature of which is not detailed in the records. The property's maintenance history reveals occasional issues with exterior cleanliness, including a documented garbage accumulation problem at the front yard in March 2018, though there is no recent evidence of persistent sanitation concerns.

A vacant and unguarded property complaint was filed in April 2019, but inspection results showed no violations at the time. The building's permit history shows an emergency work permit issued in February 2020, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, most recent inspections and violations indicate improved maintenance practices and responsiveness to violations, particularly regarding pest management and overall building safety compliance.
