1424 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-story, four-unit building at 1424 East 2nd Street in Midwood, owned by Simarjit Singh, has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues spanning several years. Most notably, there was a cluster of urgent complaints in June 2019 involving unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, as well as safety concerns related to broken window guards, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - all of which were officially closed after HPD verified corrections were made.

Since 2019, the building has consistently failed to comply with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals several persistent issues requiring attention to building safety and resident comfort.

A November 2019 inspection resulted in multiple open violations including the need for proper maintenance of fire retardant materials in the ceiling, repairs to common areas, and various posting requirements for safety notices regarding smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the availability of housing information guides - none of which have been marked as certified since their issuance. While many previous complaints from 2019 were resolved promptly, the recurring nature of these bedbug report violations, along with the multiple open violations from 2019 regarding building safety and maintenance requirements, suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing regulations.
