1601 West 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1601 West 2nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Andreas Steiner and built in 1929, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past year. From November 2024 to May 2025, there were eight separate complaints about lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building.
While some of these complaints were confirmed as resolved during inspections, several required multiple attempts for HPD to gain access for verification. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a December 2024 complaint about a door issue that resulted in violations, and an unsanitary condition complaint from November 2024 regarding garbage/recycling storage. The Department of Buildings has documented several enforcement actions, particularly in 2023-2024, including multiple complaints about unauthorized construction work, debris issues, and concerns about egress access.
Violations were issued in August 2023 for electrical work without proper permits in Apartment A3, and for floor and bathroom conditions, along with blocked egress pathways. The building currently has active violations regarding the failure to properly display energy efficiency scores and grades, dating back to 2019-2021, and was cited in late 2024 for rodent infestation and garbage management issues. However, recent inspections in late 2024 showed improvements, with the building passing a rodent inspection and maintaining a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with zero reported cases from 2019 to 2024.
