4525 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, four-unit building at 4525 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Glenford Williams, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2022. A cluster of complaints was filed in February 2022, resulting in multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations related to flooring and stair conditions, window frames, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

These issues were followed by additional complaints in August 2022, with violations specifically targeting Apartment 2A, including problems with window frames, floor tiles, and an infestation of roaches and mice. The building currently has open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports and multiple open Department of Buildings violations related to external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, as well as an unaddressed violation from 2019 for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.

The property's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address the persistent issues of water leaks, flooring problems, and pest infestations noted in both 2022 incidents and the current open violations. The building's two validated Housing Maintenance Code complaints from 2022 specifically cited emergency conditions related to water leaks and unsanitary conditions, though some complaints could not be accessed for inspection at that time. While many of the 2022 violations were subsequently closed, current open violations as of 2024 indicate continued oversight issues, particularly regarding required inspection filings for safety equipment and systems.
