1634 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1634 Church Avenue is an eight-story, 48-unit residential building located in Flatbush, owned by Joel Gottlieb and constructed in 2020. The building has shown good recent maintenance practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three annual reports (2021-2024), and the most recent Department of Health complaint about standing water in August 2023 resulted in no violations being found.

However, there were notable issues during the building's construction phase, including multiple complaints about illegal after-hours work, site conditions endangering workers, and unsafe material storage between May and December 2020, though inspections typically found no violations. A significant violation was issued in June 2020 for unlawfully continuing work while under a stop work order, resulting in a $5,000 penalty against Prestige Construction NY. The building has complied with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent 2024 report showing zero infested or re-infested units.

In terms of building operations, there was a violation for failure to file an energy use benchmarking report in May 2023, which was resolved by January 2024. The property has undergone proper permit processing throughout its early years of operation, with multiple permits issued in 2019-2020 for various categories, including new building, plumbing, and excavation work. The building's record shows a pattern of compliance with fines and violations being addressed, though the construction period was marked by several regulatory interventions that were generally resolved through proper channels.
