458 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 458 East 52nd Street in East Flatbush, built in 1920 and currently owned by Anthony David, has a concerning history of unresolved housing maintenance code violations spanning multiple years. Most notably, there is a persistent pattern of violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These repeated violations suggest ongoing non-compliance with NYC's bedbug reporting requirements. The building's most significant cluster of violations occurred in February 2018, specifically in apartment 6 on the third story, where multiple issues were documented including the presence of vermin (water bugs and mice), defective window repairs, a malfunctioning bathroom ventilation system, and missing safety devices (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector).

These violations from 2018, though classified as B (meaning they required more immediate attention than the A-class bedbug report violations), have remained open and unresolved for years. Additionally, there was a Department of Buildings violation related to the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which was eventually dismissed in April 2021. The building's record indicates serious and longstanding maintenance issues that affect multiple systems and amenities, particularly in apartment 6, with a concerning pattern of non-compliance with safety and reporting requirements.
