202 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-unit, two-story building at 202 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Ronald Kandov, has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints in June 2022 regarding lack of heat/hot water in both individual apartments and the entire building. Unfortunately, these complaints could not be verified by HPD inspectors due to lack of access. The building has also faced safety concerns, particularly in 2018, when multiple emergency violations were documented for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with problems related to doors and windows.

That same year, there was an illegal conversion complaint filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has undergone various inspections and received several violation notices over the years. Most recently, in April 2024, an open violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements was noted, following similar violations for bedbug reporting from 2020 through early 2023.

Earlier building issues included significant maintenance concerns in December 2020, when violations were recorded for roof repairs, flashing issues, and scuttle hatch problems. The building's exterior has also required attention, with violations in November 2020 regarding defective cement stucco on the rear wall. Historical records show the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in July 2017. The property is currently listed under the Alternative Enforcement Program, requiring specific notices to be posted regarding building management and complaint reporting.
