146 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
146 East 52nd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Marc Volmar. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code regarding electrical problems (including no lighting issues), plumbing concerns (bathtub, shower, and toilet problems), unsanitary conditions (including mold), and appliance maintenance (refrigerator issues).
Many of these complaints were unable to be inspected by HPD. More significantly, the building currently has several open violations from a December 2024 inspection affecting third-floor apartment 3R, including concerns about electrical service, pest infestations (roaches and mice), water fixtures, and the need for various repairs and maintenance. The building has an active DOB violation regarding external low pressure inspection filing requirements from September 2024, with similar violations from June 2023 and June 2023 also noted.
Historical records show previous access issues during inspections in 2019 and 2020, as well as two failed rodent inspections in mid-2017. While some 311 complaints have been addressed (with no violations issued), the pattern of recent complaints and open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history of various utility-related concerns, including past gas utility referrals and pressure inspection violations, may warrant attention, though these issues have generally been marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" or "Access Denied" during inspections.
