9601 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The three-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 9601 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Sam Samson and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water problems throughout 2024. The most recent complaints, filed in December 2024, included both heat/hot water issues and problems with the roof door/hatch, with violations issued for the latter. Throughout 2024, there were multiple complaints about heating and hot water systems, with several instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, though some violations were recorded.
The building has also contended with various maintenance issues, including mold, appliance concerns (electric/gas range), and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pest problems. The property has had several significant violations requiring attention, including a 2024 violation concerning self-closing doors in the bulkhead and public areas, and previous violations from 2024 related to temperature control and heating systems. A 2020 boiler-related issue resulted in a violation being served.
Other maintenance concerns documented in 2024 included problems with the roof leading to leaks, defective plaster surfaces in the 3R apartment, and various building code compliance matters. While the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs since at least 2019, recent rodent inspection results have shown mixed outcomes, with one failed inspection recorded in 2021. The building's heating system appears to be the most pressing ongoing concern, with multiple complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply throughout 2024, despite some issues being subsequently addressed or requiring only periodic maintenance.
