528 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

528 50th Street is a four-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Hao Zhang, located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concern being a rodent sighting reported and subsequently resolved in June 2024, which followed an inspection that resulted in minor violations.

Prior to this, in 2018, there were two water leak complaints (both heavy and slow flow) filed in October of that year, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, resulting in the complaints being closed with instructions to file new complaints if the issues persisted. The building has shown generally good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with filings consistently indicating zero infested units from 2019 through the most recent report for 2024, with no evidence of re-infestation. However, there is an ongoing concern regarding an illegal conversion complaint filed in February 2024 that remains active as of April 2024, though initial inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to lack of access.

The property has received violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in both 2021 and 2023, though these appear to have been addressed as per subsequent filings. A recent rodent inspection in June 2024 found the building to be compliant, though this followed an earlier rat sighting in the same month. While the building has had some maintenance issues requiring attention, the property has generally maintained good records of addressing these concerns when they are properly reported and accessed for inspection.
