1544 West 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1544 West 2nd Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Wei Huang. The property has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, though subsequent filings have shown no infestation issues, with the 2024 report indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The building's history includes significant concerns in 2018, when two Class B violations were issued related to the illegal use of the cellar for living purposes, including an unlawful cooking space and bathroom facilities, though these violations were certified as resolved by April 2018.

An Environmental Control Board violation was also recorded in 2018 for occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy, specifically regarding unauthorized modifications creating an illegal cellar apartment with kitchen and bathroom facilities, but this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalties owed. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance checks, with the most recent filings indicating zero infestation issues across multiple reporting periods. Two complaints regarding alleged illegal curb cut/driveway usage were filed - in 2024 and 2022 - but inspections in both cases found no violations warranting enforcement action.

A rodent inspection conducted in June 2019 resulted in a passing grade. The building has an active permit issued in October 2022 for electrical work (permit sequence number 01, job number 340869705). While the building has had some regulatory issues in the past, particularly regarding cellar usage and bedbug reporting compliance, most recent records suggest these matters have been addressed, though the property has maintained a pattern of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years.
