201 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
As of July 2025, 201 East 52nd Street, a three-story New Law tenement built in 1931 and owned by Yogeeta Singh, has multiple concerning issues and violations on record. Most notably, there is an active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and a concerning active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from February 2024 related to inadequate heating system maintenance, including cold radiators in first-floor apartments when heat should be supplied, along with improper boiler access posting.
The building has a persistent pattern of housing maintenance code violations, with open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though a 2021 report indicated no infestation during the 2019-2020 period. The property has experienced significant safety and compliance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and unlicensed plumbing work in 2025-2024, though inspections frequently resulted in "no access" situations.
A serious electrical safety violation was documented in January 2023 involving exposed wiring, which resulted in a violation being served. Historical records show these issues are not new, as similar conversion and plumbing concerns have been raised repeatedly, though some have been closed, such as a boiler-related complaint from February 2024 (with an oath violation served). The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with property management responsiveness and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding heating system maintenance and illegal modifications.
