1472 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 6-story, 35-unit residential building at 1472 52nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Samuel Kurz, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent complaint occurring in October 2024. This pattern of heating system problems is particularly notable, as similar complaints have been documented in 2020, 2022, and several instances in 2019.
The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including water leaks and window frame issues in 2023, and various structural concerns such as mold and encumbrances in hallways noted in 2022. Recent inspections in October 2024 revealed two violations related to fire-retardant plaster and improper painting in the first-story vestibule, though these were scheduled for certification by November 2024. The property has a documented history of elevator-related issues between 2018-2020, with multiple complaints about single-device service and various mechanical problems, including a 2020 violation regarding oil spills in the pit and leaks in the shaft.
While the building has consistently maintained an active bedbug monitoring program with no reported infestations in recent years (2021-2024), there have been some violations of the Housing Maintenance Code, including failures to file annual bedbug reports and issues with fire escape access. Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 indicate maintenance concerns with the boiler room and elevator system, though these were resolved without penalty. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most being certified as corrected, though one notable instance of mold in the 6th-story public hall remains open as of 2023.
