1610 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The five-story residential building at 1610 52nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Philip Baum, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over its history, particularly regarding building safety and compliance with housing codes. Most recently, in 2024, the building was cited for not filing its annual bedbug report as required under NYC health regulations.

The property has consistently faced challenges with self-closing doors, with violations recorded in 2023 (Apt 3, 4th story), 2021 (boiler room, cellar), and 2019 (bulkhead), though these issues were subsequently addressed and marked as closed. The building has also experienced documented problems with clutter in public areas, particularly on the 5th story, with violations noted in 2023 and 2021, though these were resolved through appropriate remediation. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with eradication efforts, with no confirmed infestations reported in any of the filing periods from 2019 through 2025.

The most recent filings indicate a clean record, with zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting that while the building has faced various maintenance challenges, the bedbug situation is currently under control. The property has transitioned to a "Converted Class A" designation, which typically indicates that the building has been converted from a non-residential use to a residential use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the data. The building's construction dates back to 1985, and despite its various maintenance violations, most have been promptly addressed and marked as closed in the system.
