2509 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2509 Church Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Jacques Josaphat, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2007. Between September 2021 and January 2022, there were four documented incidents of heat and hot water outages in the building, with three of these complaints being classified as emergencies.

While heat and hot water were reportedly restored in each case, the repeated nature of these complaints indicates a potential recurring infrastructure issue. Additionally, there was a slow water leak reported in January 2022 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the problem, resulting in a closed complaint. More recently, the building has faced challenges with regulatory compliance, receiving three Notices of Violation in 2022-2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These violations, all classified as "Class A," were periodically addressed but certification dates remain unrecorded. However, the bedbug reports filed for the periods ending October 2023, October 2022, and October 2020 show no infestations, with the counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units all listed as zero for each reporting period. This suggests that while there were administrative compliance issues regarding the filing of bedbug reports, the actual pest management situation in the building appears to have been effectively maintained.
