384 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-unit, three-story building at 384 East 2nd Street in Kensington, owned by Frank Pullo, has experienced several significant events over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions between 2020 and 2023, with four separate reports of illegal conversions and one complaint about illegal commercial use in a residential zone. Inspections pertaining to these complaints consistently resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" responses.

A more serious concern arose in 2020 when work was performed without the proper permits, including the installation of bathroom facilities, utilities, and a washer/dryer setup in the cellar level. This violation, however, was ultimately dismissed in 2024 as the violating conditions were removed and the building returned to its prior legal state. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with annual filings since 2020 showing zero infested dwelling units, helpfully indicating that bedbug issues have not been a concern for residents.

The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 continue this trend of no infestations or related problems. While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, these do not appear to indicate an ongoing issue, as subsequent reports have been filed regularly. The building's violation and complaint history suggests some regulatory challenges related to unauthorized modifications and uses, though these issues appear to have been resolved, particularly with the dismissal of the work without permit violation in 2024.
