590 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

590 East 2nd Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in Kensington, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and classified as a "New Law Tenement." The property has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in each of the past four annual inspections from 2021 to 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules. While these violations do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation, they suggest potential lapses in building management and compliance with health regulations.

The building's complaint history shows one notable incident in 2019 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though this complaint was ultimately closed due to access denial on the inspection date. Looking further back, a rodent inspection conducted in July 2012 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant pest control issues at that time.

The most recent violations from 2023-2024 merit particular attention due to their frequency and proximity to the current date. The building's overall history shows relatively few complaints or violations beyond the recent bedbug report issues and the one-time complaint from 2019, suggesting that while there are significant regulatory compliance concerns, there have not been numerous physical safety or habitability issues documented through official channels.
