2535 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 2535 Church Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Ronen Shiponi and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. The most recent problems include a paint/plaster issue in February 2023 and a heat/hot water outage in January 2022, both of which were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations issued in the former case, and restoration of services confirmed in the latter.

The building has faced recurring administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2022 and 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, though the most recent report for the period November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no infestations. Additional violations from 2022 included encumbrances in the fourth-story bulkhead stairs area and defective self-closing doors in the same location, both of which were classified as serious safety concerns (Class B and C violations).

As of mid-2025, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection, though the disposition status is currently unprocessed. The building's recent history suggests attention to heating systems and periodic maintenance of common areas, though most issues have been promptly addressed through official channels. The property has maintained a consistent occupancy rate since its construction as a "New Law Tenement," with the current ownership maintaining compliance with basic reporting requirements as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report showing no current or recently eradicated infestations.
