Augrented Insights Report for 459 52nd Street

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 459 52nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Hoi Ming Ho, has faced recurring pest and maintenance issues since 2020. The most recent complaints in 2024 (both in June and July) involved unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Prior to this, in late 2023, the building received several violations related to pests and garbage storage, including a significant B-class violation for removing encumbrances from the first-story public hall. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022-2024, though recent bedbug reports (2025-2024) show no infestations. The property has experienced several compliance challenges, including open violations related to defective self-closing doors in the first-story vestibule (2024) and a history of inspection access issues for various complaints.

There are outstanding Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 regarding uncompleted work under expired permits (340113781) that remained active as of October 2023, representing a potential $1,250 penalty. The building has also been subject to investigations regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized hotel room usage between 2020-2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to confirm these claims. Despite these persistent issues, recent bedbug reports indicate effective eradication of that particular pest, with no new infestations reported in the past three years.
