462 East 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

462 East 52nd Street, a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in East Flatbush, is currently experiencing significant heating system challenges, as evidenced by multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints throughout January 2025, with at least 9 such complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025. These complaints indicate both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, though there was some resolution noted in mid-January 2025 when inspectors confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored. The building has also been the subject of various maintenance violations, most notably in late 2024 when Unit 1F received multiple violation notices regarding paint conditions and electrical outlet issues, with some violations still marked as open in 2025.

The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and Environmental Control Board citations. Most concerning are the active ECB violations from 2018-2019 related to unauthorized work and occupancy issues, including allegations of an illegally converted basement apartment and unpermitted construction work. A recent violation from September 2024 regarding excessive scattered combustible debris has an associated penalty of $6,250.

Earlier maintenance issues included a pest infestation problem in Unit 1F noted in late 2024, along with various heating system violations indicating inadequate heat supply. The building's boiler inspection compliance has also been a concern, with a violation noted in January 2020 for failure to file the required annual inspection report. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices since 2018, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require monitoring. **Note:** This report is based on data available up to October 2023, and while it presents a comprehensive overview of current and historical issues, the information is subject to change and should be verified through official channels for the most up-to-date status.
