9605 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

9605 Church Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mingshan Jiang. The East Flatbush property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant being recurring heat and hot water problems, with three documented incidents in 2020-2022. The building currently has three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019, 2020, and 2021, though a similar violation from April 2022 was dismissed in July 2023.

A bedbug reporting requirement violation remains open as of April 2024. Previous violations from 2022 included a broken wooden tread on the second-story public hall stairs and defective self-closing doors in the first-story vestibule, both of which were eventually addressed. The building's recent inspection history shows regular monitoring and reporting requirements being addressed, with the most recent bedbug report (for 2021-2022) showing no infested units.

While there were multiple 311 complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found the issues were resolved. In 2014, an initial rodent inspection passed, and there have been no documented rodent issues since. The property has shown compliance with various Housing Maintenance Code requirements, though the pattern of heat/hot water complaints and the recent low-pressure inspection violations suggest some ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
