4411 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

4411 Church Avenue is a 6-story, 89-unit apartment building constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues recently, with significant concerns emerging in 2025 including multiple unsanitary conditions, plumbing problems, and various infrastructure maintenance issues. A cluster of complaints on May 19, 2025, involved problems with plumbing (radiators and bathtub/shower), water leaks, flooring, general cabinet issues, and mold. More recently, in June 2025, there have been complaints about unsanitary conditions related to dogs, and failed rodent inspections, with inspections showing rat activity as recently as July 2025.

The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in the past two years. In October 2024, a series of violations were documented in apartment 3H, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water leaks, and various problems with plastered surfaces and paint. There have also been concerns about building safety, with egress-related complaints in October 2023 and a notable incident of building shaking reported in June 2022. The elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints, with issues documented in 2022 and 2024, though inspections generally found no violations at the time.

The property has experienced periodic pest problems, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections in 2024 and 2025. Bedbug reports show some infestation history between 2018 and 2020, but no reported cases in the past three years (2021-2024). The building's management has responded to various violations and complaints, with many being certified as corrected, though some issues persist or have required multiple inspection attempts. The property has also undergone some permitted work, with a permit issuance recorded in October 2018.
