5218 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 5218 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Wayne Ragguette and constructed in 1931, presents several ongoing maintenance and compliance issues as of July 2025. Most notably, there are three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, indicating possible pest management compliance issues.
The building has experienced significant infrastructure challenges, including a heating system failure in early 2022 that prompted HPD involvement, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the reported lack of heat or hot water throughout the building. Recent inspections in 2022 revealed multiple violations requiring immediate attention, including problems with fire retardant materials in public areas, a leaking roof over the third-story hall, and various maintenance issues with hallways seeking repairs and painting improvements.
The property currently has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2024 for failure to file required inspection reports for its boiler and external low-pressure systems, respectively. While some of these violations may have been addressed by now, many remain open or pending resolution as of the latest data available.
