1357 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

This three-story, two-family house at 1357 52nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Chana Portugal and constructed in 1965, has an established history of maintenance requirements that were addressed in late 2018. The building underwent several exterior maintenance improvements following an inspection on October 25, 2018, which revealed multiple violations requiring attention to the building's paintwork.

These included the exterior window frames and sashes at the first and third stories, the metal frame of the second and third story balcony, and the building entrance door and frame, all of which required repainting with light-colored paint to the satisfaction of the Department. Additionally, the area underneath the second and third story balconies at the front also required painting. All of these violations were successfully resolved, with certification of correction ranging from December 10 to December 26, 2018.

Of particular note regarding safety procedures, a violation was recorded on April 9, 2018, requiring the building owner to post and maintain a notice in a common area outlining the procedures to follow in the event of a suspected gas leak. This violation, too, was addressed and certified as corrected on May 18, 2018. The building's recent history from 2019 through 2023 has been clear of documented violations, suggesting that the most recent owners have maintained compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the available data only extends through October 2023.
