4714 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, two-family house at 4714 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Shahram Taied and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade. Between 2015-2016, the building faced multiple violations, including critical issues such as unsafe electrical wiring with water dripping on exposed wires in the first-story vestibule, lack of proper hot water in the second-floor kitchen, and various problems with public hall maintenance including inadequate lighting, broken fire-retardant walls, and defective plastered surfaces.

These violations were generally addressed, with most being certified as corrected by March 2022. However, more recent concerns have emerged, with an active complaint filed in October 2024 regarding the Certificate of Occupancy status, though access was denied on the first inspection attempt. The property has also had documented heating system issues, with a 2020 complaint resulting in an ECB violation regarding an improperly displayed boiler room access information sign, though this was resolved with no penalties.

Additionally, there is a current active violation as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. The building's maintenance history shows periods of significant attention required to address basic living conditions, though there have been some efforts to bring systems up to code, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances in 2018-2019 for electrical and plumbing work. While many historical violations have been closed, the recent Certificate of Occupancy complaint and ongoing inspection violations suggest that some compliance issues may persist.
