2052 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 2052 Bay Ridge Avenue, owned by 2052 Bay Ridge Ave LLC and constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring issues with building-wide heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, there were multiple urgent complaints regarding heat/hot water and water supply problems, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect all affected units.

These heating issues appear to be a recurring pattern, with similar complaints documented in October-December 2019, when multiple violations were issued, and again in January 2020, when a tenant reported that heat and hot water had been restored after an HPD intervention. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, including an open complaint from September 2023 regarding issues with bathtub/shower facilities that resulted in violations, and water supply problems reported in April 2024.

Other maintenance concerns include a garbage/recycling storage issue from October 2019 (which resulted in no violations being issued) and a window frame problem from July 2018, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions at that time. While some of these issues have been addressed through HPD inspections, the repeated nature of the heating system complaints, particularly during winter months, and multiple instances of incomplete access for inspections suggest persistent maintenance challenges within this older tenement building.
