2533 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 8-unit, 4-story brick tenement building at 2533 Church Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Y Ollander, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning several years. The property, constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly between late 2021 and late 2022.

Multiple emergency complaints were filed during this period, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections generally found no violations. More recently, in 2023, there was a complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage that HPD could not inspect, leaving the issue unresolved in December 2023. The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including water leak and mold issues in early 2022, and a series of violations in 2021 that primarily affected apartment 5 on the third floor.

These violations included concerns about hot water temperature, self-closing doors, bathroom plaster surfaces, and fire retardant materials in public areas, though recent records from 2023 indicate these have been addressed. A significant improvement can be noted in bedbug management, with the most recent filings in 2023 showing zero infested units for the 2021-2022 reporting period, after earlier violations were recorded in 2021. The building's rodent inspections from 2014 showed mixed results, with one passing compliance inspection and an initial failure for unspecified reasons.
