1168 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, 1925 converted Class A building at 1168 52nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Cong Ortzohs Chaim, has a documented history of maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to current violations. As of April 2024, there is an open violation regarding the required annual bedbug report, and prior to that, a July 2023 violation concerning a defective self-closing door in apartment 2, which was subsequently closed following repairs.

The building experienced a series of maintenance challenges in 2021, particularly affecting apartment 2, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, bathroom tiles, and water leaks, all of which were properly addressed and certified as corrected by late 2021. The property has undergone multiple permit applications in recent years, with the most recent permit issued in February 2025 for alteration work, though there was an associated environmental control board violation in May 2024 regarding expired work permits.

Historical records also show two stop work orders being rescinded - one in 2019 for an illegal extension and another in 2024 for construction safety compliance issues. While bedbug reporting violations are concerning, it's worth noting that the official reporting period for 2019-2020 showed no infestations or re-infested units, and no new incidents were reported in subsequent filings through 2021.
