128 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 128 East 52nd Street, owned by Bernard Gay, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past five years, with six documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems between 2020 and 2023.
While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, either through verification of restored services or tenant confirmation, others resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to inspect the conditions. The building's maintenance record shows three open violations from 2021 related to fire safety in public areas, specifically concerning defective fire retardant materials in the ceilings of the first, second, and third-story hallways, though at least two similar violations from that period were subsequently closed.
A notable gas leak safety violation was corrected in 2022, and while the building experienced bedbug-related issues in 2021 requiring violation notices, recent filings from 2023 show no recorded infestations between 2021-2022 and 2020-2021, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all three recent annual reports (2023, 2022, and 2021) showing zero infested units during their respective reporting periods, despite an open violation from 2024 regarding annual report filing requirements.
