1418 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1418 East 2nd Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in the Midwood neighborhood, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Kenny Phuong. The New Law Tenement building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water outage in January 2023 that affected the entire building, though these essential services were reportedly restored within two days of the complaint.

In early 2023, the building received a violation related to a defective self-closing door at the first-story public hall entrance, which has since been closed. Notably, the building failed to file its required annual bedbug report in both 2022 and 2023, resulting in two class A violations, though there is no indication of any bedbug infestations; records from 2021-2025 show consistently zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. The property has demonstrated improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with all filings from 2024 onwards showing zero infestation activity.

The most recent bedbug report, filed in May 2025, covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024, confirming no infestation during this timeframe. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, many of these problems have been promptly addressed. The property's violation history shows a pattern of bedbug reporting non-compliance between 2021 and 2023, though this appears to have been rectified with successful filings in 2024 and 2025, which is noteworthy for tenant safety and health considerations.
