772 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 5-story, 4-unit building at 772 52nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Roger Cheng, is a converted Class A property constructed in 1905. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent problems documented in October 2023 including heat/hot water deficiencies, water leak issues, and multiple violations affecting Unit 4F. These violations include problems with plaster surfaces and paint in the bathroom and kitchen, hot water access, and an infestation of roaches and mice.

The building's systems have also faced challenges, with violations noted regarding access to the heating system boiler room in the basement. A significant repair history shows a pattern of maintenance needs, including a 2022 water leak issue and ongoing concerns about building systems. The property has maintained an active bedbug eradication program, with no reported infestations in the past four years (2020-2025).

A notable historical violation from 2018 involved improper occupancy of the first floor store space, which incurred a $600 penalty. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), most recent violations (as of late 2023) have been addressed and certified as closed, including repairs to public hall ceilings and Unit 4F's various maintenance needs. The property has maintained an active compliance history with respect to bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units across multiple reporting periods.
