5206 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 5206 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Abraham Niyazov and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurrent maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, the property has faced multiple unsanitary conditions related to sewage problems in June 2025, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene unable to complete an investigation despite multiple service requests being filed. The building has also had persistent pest problems, with three separate pest-related complaints from December 2024 through March 2025, and similar issues noted in March 2025.

Water-related concerns have been documented, including two slow leak complaints in December 2024 (one of which was classified as "heavy flow"), though these were closed without violations. A power outage occurred in March 2025, but this did not result in any identified housing law violations. The building's compliance history includes several concerning aspects: there are currently active violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections for both 2020 and 2023, dating back to June and September 2024 respectively.

In June 2025, a boiler-related violation was issued, though this was served on the same day as inspection. While the bedbug report from 2024 covers a full year period from November 2022 to October 2023, it shows no documented infestations or eradications during that time. The property has shown a pattern of inspection access issues, with multiple complaints being closed due to inspectors' inability to gain entry for evaluation.
