40 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 40 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Joseph Blackburn and constructed in 1930 as a New Law tenement, has experienced several notable events over the past five years.
The property had a cluster of water-related issues in December 2020, with both a heavy water leak and ceiling plaster problems reported, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. There have been recurring compliance requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with four Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2021 and 2024 for failure to submit annual reports, though recent filings indicate no infestations during the 2022-2023 reporting period, and previous filings for 2019-2020 also showed no infestations.
The building has active violations, including a failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection report issued in June 2023, and previously had a boiler inspection violation from 2019 that was dismissed in 2021. A permit for unspecified work was issued in July 2018 under job number 321085464, though the details of this work are not provided in the records.
