4017 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 4017 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1930 and currently owned by Iftikhar Din, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple heating system concerns, including two emergency heat/hot water complaints in April 2022, and recurring plumbing problems affecting radiators, steam pipes, and sinks throughout 2019, all of which were marked as emergencies and resulted in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced safety compliance issues, with current open violations regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements in apartment 2F, including both defective and missing devices, dating from 2018 inspections. A boiler-related situation arose in 2022, leading to environmental control board violations regarding improper installation and safety concerns, with one violation still listed as active with a associated penalty of $625 related to ventilation and equipment placement issues. Earlier housing maintenance code violations from 2018 documented serious habitability concerns in apartment 2RR, including inadequate hot and cold water supply, and pest infestations (both rodents and insects).

The property has also shown recurring access issues for inspectors, as evidenced by multiple complaints across different years (2019 and 2022) where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect reported problems. Recent records from 2023 indicate some movement on long-standing issues, including a March 2023 inspection related to a boiler violation, though there remains at least one active violation requiring resolution. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and safety compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, with some issues remaining unresolved as of the latest available data.
