52 Clark Street is a 9-story, 141-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Zachary Bornstein. The building has experienced several recurring issues with heating and hot water systems in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, though inspections found the conditions were corrected by the time of HPD's response.
More recent complaints in March 2025 regarding door issues were found not to violate housing laws. The property has active violations related to elevator maintenance (dating back to 2019) and two environmental violations from 2022 regarding gas dryer installations and a required cycle report, though other violations for failure to submit inspection reports from 2022-2024 have been dismissed or closed. The building has undergone various inspections and complaints over the years, with a notable pattern of heat and hot water-related issues, particularly in 2024-2025.
There were violations found in 2023-2024 in apartment 1H related to window guards, multiple paint and plaster issues, and one violation in 2024 for missing carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2O. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs in recent years, with only one documented case in 2018, and has successfully passed rodent inspections from 2013 through 2025. Compliance with critical safety requirements has been variable, with some violations remaining open or listed as active, particularly concerning elevator maintenance, emergency inspection reporting, and gas dryer installation issues.
