5023 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The two-story, four-unit building at 5023 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1925 and currently owned by Sihwa Lee, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's documented history of heat and hot water problems in early 2022, with eight separate complaints filed between December 2021 and February 2022, though inspections were either unable to gain access or determined the problems were building-wide rather than apartment-specific.
More recently, in 2024, the building received inspection notices regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2022, 2023, and 2024, which is classified as a Class A violation (though a report was eventually filed in June 2024 showing no infestations between November 2022 and October 2023). Significant open violations from December 2021 inspections relate to Apartment 3F, including issues with a missing radiator handle, broken plaster surfaces, and several safety concerns regarding self-closing doors and fire egress.
These open violations encompass problems with the self-closing doors at the bulkhead leading to the roof, the presence of obstructing items at the bulkhead, and concerns about the kitchen window to fire escape. There was also a food safety complaint in September 2024 regarding foreign objects in food, which was closed by the Department of Health but doesn't specify if it was related to a building premises or nearby establishment. The building's 2025 bedbug report indicates no current infestations, though the previous violation history suggests this should be monitored closely.
