385 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
385 East 52nd Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Danny Abraham. The building has experienced several significant maintenance challenges over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in April 2024, including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), refrigerator problems, and heat/hot water concerns. The building has a documented history of violations that have impacted resident quality of life, particularly in apartment 2F, where multiple violations were identified in 2024 related to mold, pests, water damage, and various repair needs, though some were subsequently certified as corrected by April 2024.
The property has faced structural and safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 regarding cracks in the brick facade, with a penalty of $6,250. Past incidents include an emergency gas service closure due to a leak in 2018, though this was resolved. The building experienced electrical lighting issues in 2023 and has documented history of pest problems, with the most recent pest violation appearing in 2024.
While there have been no bedbug infestations reported between 2022-2023 and an initial rodent inspection in 2022 showed compliance, the recurring nature of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The records indicate attempts at remediation, with several complaints being inspected and either resulting in violations or being marked as corrected, though some issues remain open as of the most recent inspection dates. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency complaints across various categories including sanitation, plumbing, electrical, and structural issues, requiring regular intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
