155 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 155 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Lyonel Jean and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems in recent years. Most notably, between March 2025 and December 2023, there were three separate emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with two incidents in March 2025 alone.
The building has also faced plumbing issues, with a water supply complaint in March 2025 that was marked as an immediate emergency, though HPD was unable to complete an inspection. While the building has been compliant with the bedbug reporting requirements in 2024, showing zero infested or re-infested units for the 2022-2023 period, there is an open sanitation violation from September 2020 regarding refuse and rubbish accumulation in the building's front yard, which is classified as a Class B violation.
Historical complaints include a December 2020 pest-related issue and a November 2021 vaccine mandate non-compliance report. It's worth noting that during multiple HPD inspections in response to various complaints between 2020 and 2025, inspectors have frequently encountered difficulties accessing units to complete their evaluations, which has led to several complaints being closed without proper verification of the reported conditions.
