2831 Church Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Stav Kimchy, located in East Flatbush. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between 2023 and early 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with several inspections unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

More recently, in February 2024, significant violations were identified in apartment 2R, including issues with heat supply, roach infestation, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with windows. Other notable issues have included electrical power outages in May 2023, and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest problems throughout 2023. The building has a concerning history of infrastructure issues, particularly documented in 2018 when there were multiple violations related to a collapsed brick parapet wall at the front of the building, which reportedly affected the storefront and security features.

This incident resulted in several fines totaling over $9,000, though records indicate these have been resolved. Currently, there are active violations for failure to file required external low pressure inspections in 2022 and 2023. While the building has been maintaining bedbug-free status in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), the property has shown recurring problems with heating systems, electrical reliability, and various building maintenance issues, as evidenced by the numerous complaints filed through 311 and documented violations.
