282 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The six-unit, three-story building at 282 East 2nd Street in Kensington, owned by Hasima Djokovic and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in 2018, 2019, and most recently in February 2023.

The building is currently facing concerns about pest infestations, with a recent unsanitary conditions complaint filed in February 2025 that HPD inspectors were unable to access for verification. Records indicate a pattern of inadequate heating and plumbing systems, though violations from 2019 related to inadequate hot and cold water supply in Unit 1R were resolved by May 2019. The building has open violations regarding the failure to submit annual bedbug reports for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

In March 2019, multiple violations were documented in Unit 1R involving various safety and maintenance issues, including problems with water supply, door closure mechanisms, smoke detector functionality, scalding hot water, and carbon monoxide detector requirements - though these were all certified as corrected by May 2019. A rodent inspection conducted in September 2019 resulted in a passing grade. Despite these recurring issues, the building has shown some responsiveness to complaints when access can be granted for inspection purposes, with some problems being addressed through proper channels.
