4113 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This two-family house at 4113 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Daniel Melamed, has a documented history of concerning structural and maintenance issues since 2018. The most significant incidents occurred in July 2018, when the building was found to have been illegally converted from a private dwelling to multiple dwelling status, with particular issues identified in the cellar area. During this period, multiple housing violations were documented, including inadequate hot and cold water supply throughout the first-floor apartment, and illegal residential use of cellar space with improperly maintained plumbing fixtures.

These violations received a mix of B and C classifications, indicating varying levels of severity, though the immediate emergency plumbing issues were subsequently resolved. More recently, the building has accumulated several open violations related to regulatory non-compliance, particularly concerning low-pressure inspections. Between April 2023 and September 2024, six active violations have been recorded for failure to file the required annual external low pressure inspection reports dating back to 2018 through 2023.

Additionally, there was one violation issued in 2020 for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, which remains active. Although there was a violation related to the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation in December 2018, this was ultimately dismissed in January 2020. The pattern of violations suggests ongoing issues with compliance and maintenance oversight, particularly regarding building systems and safety inspections.
