Augrented Insights Report for 5401 Church Avenue

5401 Church Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, owned by Okoro Ukpabi and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced recurring issues with inadequate heating and hot water throughout its history, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2023 and 2025, including a recent inadequate heat complaint in April 2025 and three separate heat-related violations issued in October and December 2024 affecting Apartment 3R and the entire building.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including a rodent infestation in October 2024, as well as various violations in 2024 related to building maintenance such as a locked boiler room access issue and multiple safety concerns.

Multiple building systems violations remain open, including issues with hot water supply, heating system access, and pest control. The Department of Buildings has documented concerns regarding illegal conversions and potential commercial uses of the property, with multiple inspection attempts in 2024. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and violations issuance, such as a window pane issue and garbage recycling concerns in 2023, many recent violations from 2024 and 2025, including housing maintenance code violations for Apartment 3R, remain open as of the latest available data.
