1173 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
1173 52nd Street is a 4-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building located in Borough Park, built in 1924 and currently owned by Shalom Malek. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, often requiring emergency intervention from HPD.
Notable apartment 4B has documented violations from December 2024 concerning inadequate heating, lacking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window issues, and evidence of pest infestation, with HVAC and sanitary compliance matters still requiring attention. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with basic amenities and habitability requirements, including multiple HPD inspections in 2024-2025 that revealed violations for mold, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions.
There have been documented bedbug infestations in 2024 (affecting 1 unit) and 2023 (affecting 3 units), along with multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints. Historical complaints to the Department of Buildings include concerns about building stability (2021), gas utility issues (2019 and 2022), and illegal hotel rooms (2022), though most were classified as no violations warranted or unable to confirm. The property also faced penalties for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2019 and 2020, though these violations were eventually dismissed upon confirmation of submission.
