Augrented Insights Report for 2017 Church Avenue

The 38-unit, 4-story residential building at 2017 Church Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Ronald Abraham and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues through 2025. Most concerning are recent structural problems, with active violations in February 2025 reporting damaged bathroom floors in Apartments 1A and 2G, including rotted wood joists and water damage visible from the cellar.

The building has also faced persistent heating and water supply problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in June 2025, and violations related to heat and hot water issues throughout 2024. Apartment 3K has documented infestations of roaches and mice (C violations), and there are recurring rodent issues, with the most recent bait applications in 2025 following multiple inspections showing rat activity. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing plumbing and infrastructure challenges, with multiple violations issued for doors, flooring, and water leaks in 2025 alone.

There is also a pattern of non-compliance with NYC's Benchmarking regulations, with active violations citing failure to file energy use reports and display energy efficiency grades from 2022 through 2025. The property has experienced several significant events in 2025, including building shaking/vibrations, a partial vacate order, and issues with gas supply and heating systems. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2023-2025), the building's maintenance record shows persistent violation patterns and the need for ongoing inspections and remediation efforts across multiple systems and units.
