5225 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

5225 Church Avenue is a three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush and owned by Raymond Dumornay, with a construction year of 1930. The property has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most significant being a reported mold problem in August 2022 that led to both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though inspectors were unable to access the unit to verify the conditions.

While the building has documented violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance in 2021-2024, these appear to have been administrative in nature, as the subsequent bedbug reports consistently listed zero infested units throughout the building for all reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, including the most recent filing in August 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023. An outstanding violation remains from 2018 regarding an unpermitted awning installation, for which a $500 penalty was issued and remains active on the record.

The building's current status as of July 2025 suggests improved conditions since the mold complaint, as there have been no recent reports of unsanitary conditions. The regular filing of bedbug reports showing zero infestations indicates effective pest management practices, though the initial compliance violations for not filing annual reports as required under New York City Housing Maintenance Code stand out as an administrative oversight. The property has shown responsiveness to addressing its maintenance obligations in recent years, though the active violation regarding the unpermitted awning installation from 2018 suggests one remaining outstanding compliance issue.
