1696 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 1696 East 2nd Street property in Gravesend, owned by Alla Goldenberg, is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1930 and currently classified as a Class A residence. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water system functionality, most recently evidenced by a January 2025 complaint that resulted in HPD's inability to gain building access for inspection.

This follows a pattern of heating-related concerns, though specific dates of prior incidents are not documented in the available records. More significantly, the building has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive annual violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 specifically citing non-compliance with the mandatory filing of annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations, though classified as "Class A" (indicating a serious concern), primarily relate to documentation rather than immediate health or safety hazards. The persistence of these violations over multiple years suggests a systemic issue with compliance, though it should be noted that the actual presence of bedbugs cannot be inferred from these violations alone, as they pertain to reporting requirements.
