5302 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family home at 5302 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and owned by Pinches Daskal, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns emerging in early 2024. These include emergency plumbing and refrigeration problems reported to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in February 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate the conditions. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in December 2020 and December 2018, during which access for inspection was also denied.

Violations were officially recorded in January 2018 for inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second-floor apartment (2R), though these were subsequently closed. The property has faced infrastructure challenges as well, with two significant issues in 2020. A complaint regarding boiler problems was filed in May 2020, leading to an Oath violation finding in June, and an Environmental Control Board violation related to stormwater drainage issues was documented in June 2020, with a $625 penalty imposed.

More recently, in June 2025, a boiler-related violation was recorded, though details on resolution were not specified. Additionally, there appears to be an active violation regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report for 2017, issued in November 2019, which remains open without available disposition comments. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with essential services and building systems, though many older complaints have been resolved or closed without further action.
