35 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 35 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Johnny Thompson, has a concerning pattern of access denial documented through eight separate Department of Buildings complaints between March 2024 and April 2025, with all but one resulting in the inspector being unable to gain access on their second or final attempt.

The sole exception to this pattern occurred in February 2024, when an inspection was conducted and no violations were found at that time. The repeated inability to access the property for inspections, occurring roughly every two months throughout this period, raises questions about the property's management and compliance procedures.

The building, constructed in 1925, consists of two stories and two residential units, and has maintained its original two-family house classification. The most recent complaints in early 2025, including those filed in February 2025, have continued this pattern of access issues, with the most recent inspections in April 2025 also resulting in the inspector's inability to gain access.
