518 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
518 52nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 located in Sunset Park, currently owned by Marc Katz. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues over the past five years, with the most recent incidents in 2023 including a power outage (July 27) and lighting problems (July 29).
These follow a pattern of electrical complaints dating back to 2019, with all such complaints being closed without violations being issued. In 2020, the building received several notable violations including the need to remove illegal slide bolts at the 4th-story bulkhead door, address window guard deficiencies in apartment 4L, and repair fire-retardant plaster issues in public hall areas. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs from 2020 through 2024, with zero reported infestations or eradications during this period.
A pest-related issue was documented in 2018 involving roaches in apartment 1L, which was certified as addressed. Recent inspections in 2025 showed no violations regarding adjacent buildings, and while there were inspection failures for rodent issues in 2012, there have been no documented rodent complaints or violations since then. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved issues and some persistent access problems for inspections, particularly regarding lighting and pest complaints.
