Augrented Insights Report for 513 52nd Street

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 513 52nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Cheng Chen and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems. Most recently, in June 2025, there was another heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building.

This pattern of heating problems is notably consistent, with multiple emergency complaints occurring between September-October 2022, all of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building's history also reveals other concerning events from 2019, including multiple complaints about blocked or improperly functioning egress systems, and allegations of illegal conversions, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their investigations.

Three immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations were issued in November 2019 regarding failure to certify corrections, though these were subsequently dismissed in 2020 after payment of associated fines. A paint/plaster wall issue was also reported and investigated in August 2019, though no violations were found in that case.
