2154 East 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2154 East 2nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Raffaele Distra, was constructed in 1940 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced several noteworthy events over the past few years, with particular attention required for a bedbug reporting compliance issue in 2021 and 2022, when the Department of Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations were issued for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.

In mid-2021, there was an illegal conversion complaint logged with the Department of Buildings, but after two inspection attempts, the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claim. Looking at more recent history, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations since 2022, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through mid-2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The property has consistently filed its bedbug reports on time, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing no bedbug activity whatsoever. This demonstrates successful compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements following the initial violation, though it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting system requires periodic updates regardless of actual infestations.
