1656 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The four-unit, two-story tenement at 1656 East 2nd Street in Midwood, owned by Freddy Halfon and built in 1928, has recently experienced significant water-related issues.
In June 2025 alone, seven separate housing maintenance complaints were filed regarding various types of water leaks, including three classified as "heavy flow" emergencies, with most of these cases being resolved by late June 2025. The building has also accumulated two housing maintenance code violations: a class B violation from 2018 regarding non-self-closing doors at the building entrance (currently open), and an A-class violation from March 2023 concerning the annual bedbug report filing requirements, although the bedbug report filings from 2019 through 2025 indicate no infestation or re-infestation cases.
While there have been no recent bedbug or rodent issues reported in the past several years, the building's recent water-related problems and the open door violation from 2018 warrant attention. The most pressing concern continues to be the water leak issues, which demonstrate a pattern of persistent moisture problems throughout the building.
