5733 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 54-unit, 3-story apartment building at 5733 Kings Highway in East Flatbush, constructed in 1968 and currently owned by Chumberly Realty LLC, is experiencing recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heating and water systems. Since February 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, including an entire building issue in April 2025 that resulted in HPD violations. The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with an emergency heavy flow water leak complaint in April 2025 and ongoing paint/plaster concerns affecting both walls and window frames.

Additional issues include mold (classed as an emergency violation) and various interior maintenance needs such as ceiling repairs. The building's history reveals a pattern of infrastructure challenges, with violations related to hot water supply, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and mechanical ventilation systems documented in 2022, primarily affecting basement Apartment AA. In 2021, Apartment 1B had multiple violations regarding water leaks and plastered surfaces requiring repair.

On a positive note, recent bedbug reports filed between 2022 and 2024 show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, though there was a failure noted in July 2024 for unspecified reasons. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to basic infrastructure needs, with multiple HPD violations issued in the past year requiring correction by the property owner.
