2612 West 2nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 240-unit Beach Haven Apartments, a 6-story cooperative building located at 2612 West 2nd Street in Gravesend, was built in 1951 and is currently owned by Osher Perlow. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with eight documented complaints between late 2024 and early 2025, most of which were classified as emergencies affecting the entire building. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including a water leak problem in February 2025 that resulted in violations, and multiple housing code violations related to elevator systems, building access, and various maintenance issues.

Notable violations include problems with vestibule door latches, self-closing doors, and a defective fire-retardant ceiling at the 6th story. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of violations, with multiple complaints about inoperative buttons, misaligned mirrors, and other mechanical issues documented between 2020 and 2024. Recent records show the building has undergone some regulatory scrutiny, including an active complaint from October 2024 regarding possible illegal commercial use in a residential zone.

The property has had periodic pest control challenges, with the most recent bedbug report indicating infestations in multiple units between 2023-2024, though these units were reported as having been eradicated. A rodent inspection in August 2023 resulted in a passing grade, following several years of documented rodent activity between 2012 and 2016. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most being certified as corrected, though some complaints have required multiple follow-ups for proper inspection access. For the 2024-2025 period, the building's most significant issues appear to be centered around heating systems, elevator functionality, and periodic pest management.
