3413 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

3413 Church Avenue is a three-story, two-family house built in 1928 located in East Flatbush, currently owned by Rohan Harrison. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2021-2022, which significantly impacted resident comfort and safety. Notable concerns include ongoing heat and hot water supply problems, with multiple complaints between October 2022 and December 2022, including emergency complaints for both apartment-specific and entire building issues.

The property has also faced serious sanitary problems, including pest infestations (roaches and mice) in apartment 2, mold issues in the bathroom, and concerns with unsanitary conditions such as sewage odors and interior air quality problems. The building's maintenance record reveals multiple open violations from 2021, including failures to properly maintain the building's exterior and interior surfaces, including stair treads, plastered surfaces, and walls in public areas. Of particular concern is an open ECB violation from April 2021 regarding disrepair of the ground floor entry corridor with broken tiles, carrying a penalty of $3,125.

Despite numerous complaints and inspections, access issues have often prevented proper evaluations of reported problems. The building's heating system remains a significant area of concern, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat during inspection periods where heat was not required for evaluation. While some incidents were resolved without violations being issued, the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent DOE complaints from 2024 (though showing no violations during inspection) indicate continued monitoring of building conditions, with one inspection unable to gain access to the premises.
