269 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 269 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Anowar Hossain, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2018. The property has open violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in July and August 2018, some of which resulted in HPD violations. A concentrated period of maintenance issues in 2018 particularly affected apartment 1R, with multiple open violations including problems with the kitchen sink (broken/defective), inadequate hot water supply at sinks and fixtures, a missing smoke detector, and defective ceramic tiles in the bathroom. The building's documented history also shows some resolved issues, including an August 2018 violation regarding the need for proper wall coloring in the public hall on the first story, which has since been addressed.

The property has gone through various inspection cycles, most recently showing consistent bedbug report non-compliance from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing administrative oversight issues. While there were multiple complaints and violations during 2018, which primarily focused on heating and plumbing systems, more recent inspection data shows fewer reported maintenance issues, though the bedbug reporting violation remains notable. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and history of system-related complaints indicate potential challenges typical of older tenement buildings, though the most recent data suggests a relative stabilization of maintenance issues compared to the concentrated problems of 2018.
