3307 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, two-family house at 3307 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1928 and currently owned by Christencher Semple, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2022 and through mid-2023, there was a persistent problem with unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect despite multiple complaints.

Prior to this, in October 2020, there was a heat and hot water emergency that was reportedly resolved shortly after HPD's involvement, though this incident followed an earlier rat activity inspection in March 2020 that documented rodent presence in the building. The building's maintenance record also shows a violation related to pressure inspection filings, with a November 2024 violation issued for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, though this violation was subsequently dismissed.

While some of these issues have been resolved and closed through proper channels, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and sanitation management. The most concerning pattern appears to be the unresolved nature of the garbage storage complaints, which persisted for nearly a year before being closed without confirmation of resolution.
