151 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
151 East 52nd Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in East Flatbush and owned by Fishel Schlesinger. The building has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over the past year, with the most recent concerns centering around heating systems and structural conditions. In early 2025, there were complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
A previous cluster of complaints from December 2024 included issues with flooring, plumbing (bathtub/shower), unsanitary conditions (including multiple reports of pests), and various appliance problems, particularly relating to the refrigerator and electric/gas range. These complaints were also closed due to access issues during inspections. The building has an open housing maintenance code violation from October 2024 regarding a mouse infestation in apartment 2F, along with multiple previously closed violations related to building access and heating system concerns. Prior inspections in 2024 revealed several safety-related issues, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices in apartment 1F, as well as electrical outlet problems.
There have been documented pest control issues, particularly in apartments 1F and 2F, with open violations for roach infestation (1F) and mouse infestation (2F). The building's heating system access has been a recurring concern, with violations related to locked doors preventing HPD access. Notably, the building has maintained a pest-free record regarding bedbugs for the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, with no infested units reported in any of the filings. While there have been numerous maintenance complaints and violations, most have resulted from access issues during inspections rather than confirmed verified problems, as inspectors have been unable to perform thorough evaluations of the reported issues.
