94 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 94 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Florence Sayers, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heating systems. Between December 2019 and April 2020, there were four separate emergency complaints regarding loss of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though in each case, HPD was later informed that services had been restored.

The building has also been subject to recurring violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations as recently as April 2024, though records from 2021-2022 indicate no reported infestations during those periods. A notable issue was recorded in 2019 regarding the boiler inspection report being filed late, resulting in a violation that was ultimately dismissed. More recent records from 2023-2024 show the building has had no reported bedbug infestations, with the annual reports showing zero infested units for both 2022-2023 and 2021-2022.

In 2023, there were two complaints about illegal commercial use in a residential zone near the building, though one was dismissed and the other referred to the Department of Transportation. A long-standing issue from 2012 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance remains open, though some conditions suggest it may have been addressed. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and history of maintenance issues suggest potential challenges with infrastructure systems, particularly heating, though recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of that specific concern.
