129 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 129 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Jewel Chase, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. From February 2022 through February 2024, there were four separate complaints regarding inadequate heat or hot water affecting the entire building, all classified as emergencies, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to conduct inspections in any of these instances.

Additionally, the building has received four separate violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, all classified as Class A violations, though it should be noted that the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 shows zero infested units for the period 2023-2024, which suggests successful compliance with eradication and reporting requirements since that time. The building's record also includes a Department of Buildings complaint from March 2022 regarding illegal work or permit issues, though this was investigated and no violations were found.

Despite the pattern of heating system complaints, the building's recent bedbug report and the closure of previous violations indicate some level of regulatory compliance. The property, built in 1940, was previously classified under "converted class A" designation, and while the heating system issues represent a recurring concern, the lack of recent violations or infestation reports may suggest recent improvements in building maintenance and compliance.
