578 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The four-unit, two-story New Law Tenement building at 578 East 2nd Street in Kensington, owned by Jacob Klein and constructed in 1930, has been consistently struggling with regulatory compliance over the past several years.
Most concerning are the open violations from 2024 related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements, affecting both apartment 2F and apartment 1R, where the owner has failed to submit required documentation and affidavits. Earlier in 2024, the building was cited for not providing required lead paint-related records and for failing to investigate and notify occupants about potential lead paint hazards.
Additionally, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the owner's failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. While the building's owner has received multiple notices of violation over the years, as of the latest inspection in July 2024, none of these violations have been certified as corrected, suggesting ongoing challenges with compliance to basic housing regulations that may impact resident safety and comfort.
