2833 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 2833 Church Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Julian Williams, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the current open violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports (April 2023), as well as multiple open violations from October 2022 in apartment 3R regarding defective plaster surfaces, vinyl floor tiles, ceramic floor tiles, mortice locking assembly, and self-closing doors.

There are also ongoing open violations related to CO detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and inspection certificate postings in common areas. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were issued regarding an unstable front facade brick parapet wall that was leaning toward the sidewalk, posing a danger to pedestrians.

These violations resulted in ECB penalties totaling $2,500 (though ultimately resolved), and multiple citations for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner. In the past year, there have been several periodic complaints about building conditions that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between September 2022 and May 2023, including issues with heat/hot water, electrical outlets, walls, ceilings, floors, and pest control, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both structural and interior conditions, with particular attention needed to the status of the open violations as of 2025.
