1612 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1612 East 2nd Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Gina Sardar. The building has an extensive history of violations and maintenance issues, with the most pressing current concerns being multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unmet bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 to 2024.

The building also faced significant issues in 2018, including safety-related violations such as the need for proper gas leak notification procedures, required building signage, and issues with a free-standing radiator in the public hall. A notable incident occurred in 2019-2020 involving construction and illegal occupancy concerns, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to unauthorized basement apartments and failure to comply with vacate orders. The building's basement was determined to have two illegal Class A apartments during inspections in 2019, leading to several active violations with substantial penalties.

While some previous violations have been resolved, including radiator removal and various sign requirements, the property has shown a pattern of non-compliance with violation correction requirements, as evidenced by several active ECB violations with outstanding penalties totaling over $19,000. The building's bedbug reporting history shows one annual filing in 2021 with no reported infestations during the 2019-2020 period, though the open violations suggest ongoing compliance issues. Rodent inspections from 2011-2012 show a mix of compliance and non-compliance, with the building passing two inspections and failing two others during this period.
