Augrented Insights Report for 197 East 52nd Street

This 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building, located at 197 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush and built in 1931, is currently under the ownership of Romero Orabene. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety compliance issues over recent years, with four open violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2019-2023, and two outstanding violations from 2021 involving safety equipment deficiencies in apartment 2F (missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector, plus a broken door lock).

The building has a documented history of multiple service requests in 2019, primarily focusing on plumbing problems (including issues with sinks, bathtubs, and radiators), window frame concerns, and various unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations. A standing water complaint from 2021 also demonstrates ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had consistent issues with safety compliance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, as indicated by open violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

Additionally, the building has active violations for not submitting the required boiler inspections from 2017-2022. The most recent Department of Buildings violation was issued in September 2024, indicating continued non-compliance with safety inspection requirements. While many of the 2019 complaints were addressed (as evidenced by closed status), the presence of multiple open violations and the recurring pattern of inspection failures suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance.
