3518 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 3518 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Emil Perez and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a persistent heat and hot water problem in November 2022 that affected the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed and violations issued. Apartment 2R, specifically, has documented violations related to inadequate heat, hot water supply, and pest infestations including roaches and water bugs.

The building has also faced water supply and plumbing issues in July 2021, with multiple complaints requiring investigation, though some were closed without violations being found. Additional concerns include a boiler-related issue in October 2021 that resulted in ECB violations regarding various gas utility safety concerns, with a penalty imposed. More recently, in August 2023, there was a rodent/insect/garbage complaint related to a food establishment which was closed after being addressed.

Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since the building's inspection records began in 2020, and a rodent inspection in February 2019 passed successfully. The property has had multiple permits issued between 2018-2019, indicating recent maintenance or improvements, including plumbing work. While many of these issues have been addressed through official inspections and complaints, several open violations remain as of the latest available data.
