4822 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The property at 4822 Church Avenue in East Flatbush is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Stav Kimchy. The building has experienced ongoing issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between September 2023 and January 2025, including three instances in January 2025 alone, one of which resulted in violations. In addition to heating problems, there have been several plumbing-related issues, including multiple radiator complaints in early 2024, and concerns about window frames were reported in January 2024.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with documented roach and mice infestations in apartment 2R in 2023, and a 2023 unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage. The property has multiple active violations related to boiler and low pressure inspection filings dating back to 2018 through 2020, suggesting irregularities with maintenance records. Security and safety concerns have been documented regarding self-closing doors, with violations issued in 2022 and 2023 affecting both public areas and apartment 2R.

While there have been recurring heating issues and pest infestations, the bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 indicate no documented bedbug infestations in any of the units during these periods. The owner has demonstrated some responsiveness to building maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of several violation notices and service requests, though not all complaints have been fully resolved on first inspection attempts. Most recent updates through 2025 show ongoing heat and hot water issues remain a significant concern for residents, with multiple violations and service requests indicating this is an unresolved systemic problem. The building has maintained current bedbug reporting requirements, with no documented infestations in recent filing periods.
