1406 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 1406 East 2nd Street in Midwood, owned by Konstantinos Nevrabakis, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building underwent inspections in June 2023 that revealed multiple Class C violations, including problems with self-closing doors and excessively hot water (exceeding 130 degrees) in both apartments 1F and 2F. The building has a documented history of access issues during inspections, particularly in 2018 when multiple complaints regarding door/window frames and plumbing problems could not be assessed by HPD.

A concerning pattern of door/window-related issues has emerged, with the most recent complaint from April 2025 regarding a window frame that HPD was again unable to inspect. The building's maintenance record shows recurring problems with basic amenities, including a 2020 power outage incident and multiple complaints regarding appliances and cooking gas from 2019. Significant safety concerns were addressed in late 2022, including emergency complaints about fire escape conditions, mold, and door problems.

Violations found in December 2022 included defective fire doors, non-functional smoke detectors, and a carbon monoxide detector issue in apartment 1F, along with a mold condition in the bathroom. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2019 through the present. While many violations have been closed and certified as resolved, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues and access difficulties for inspections suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and communication between tenants and management.
