1552 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1552 President Street is a 4-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Kenneth Rosenblum. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2021, when complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water problems, roofing concerns, and an electric/gas range issue, though most of these were resolved relatively quickly. Notably, there are two open violations from April 2021 concerning blocked fire escape egress from both the 2nd and 3rd story balconies at the west stack, which reportedly contained flower pots and household items.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows one instance of infestation in the 2023-2024 reporting period, with two affected units, though previous years (2022-2023 and earlier) showed no infestations. Importantly, the building has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, passing rodent inspections consistently from 2018 through 2025, with only one failure noted in December 2019. Most recent building activity includes two complaints in 2024-2025 regarding work without permits and illegal after-hours work, though no significant violations were found during inspections.

The property has three active permits dated from 2019 (two for electrical work and one for plumbing), all of which were properly issued. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many have been resolved promptly, and recent inspections suggest improved conditions, particularly in terms of pest management. The property has regular rodent inspections which have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures.
