44 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 44 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Roger Adams, has been subject to several notable regulatory issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's pattern of neglect regarding required safety inspections; there are currently active violations dating from 2018-2024 relating to failure to file annual external low-pressure inspection reports, with the most recent being from September 2024.

Historically, the building has also failed to file the 2017 boiler inspection report from November 2019, which remains an active violation. While the building has maintained appropriate bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with all reports showing zero infested units, it is worth noting that the most recent report filed in December 2023 (covering the period November 2022 - October 2023) was submitted more than 30 days late, though this may not have significant implications. The building underwent two rodent inspections in July 2013, passing the compliance inspection but initially failing for unspecified reasons during the first inspection.

The building's age (constructed in 1930) and history of violations suggest potential challenges in maintenance oversight, particularly regarding safety equipment inspections. While bedbug and rodent issues appear to be under control based on available data, the persistent violations related to external low-pressure system inspections indicate a pattern of non-compliance with critical safety requirements. The current ownership has maintained appropriate bedbug reporting protocols, with consistent documentation showing no infestations since 2019, though the recent late filing may warrant attention to ensure continued compliance with reporting requirements.
