5016 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 2-family house at 5016 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Mohamed Alsaidi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and resident comfort. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water problems reported in 2025, with complaints ranging from entire building outages to apartment-specific issues in April, and an electric power outage in May for which violations were issued.

The building has a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple pest-related complaints filed in both 2022 and 2025, and several other maintenance issues including window frame problems, flooring concerns, and refrigerator appliance malfunctions. While some of these complaints were marked as "emergency" situations, others were classified as "non-emergency," though all have been officially closed.

It's worth noting that in many cases, HPD officials encountered difficulties accessing the building or individual apartments to conduct inspections, which may indicate challenges with securing tenant access for inspections or resolving systemic issues. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heating and maintenance systems, though the resolution of these complaints indicates some level of response from management, despite the access issues noted during inspections.
