58 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 58 Church Avenue in Kensington, owned by George Malafis and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024, with three emergency complaints registered in October and November of that year, including a violation regarding inadequate hot water temperature in apartment 2B. Other notable 2023-2024 issues include a cluster of complaints from November 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions (mold) and paint/plaster problems, as well as several maintenance concerns earlier in 2023 related to plumbing and intercom systems.
The building has undergone multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with most recent inspections in late 2024 focusing on heat/hot water issues. Historical records show a pattern of self-closing door problems throughout the building, with violations noted in apartments 2B, 3E, and various public areas between 2022-2024. There were also significant maintenance issues addressed in 2022, including cracked tiles in public areas and problems with stairway marble treads.
The "B" class violations in 2022 for apartment 3E included issues with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance concerns that were ultimately closed following required repairs. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024. While there were some rodent activity concerns noted in 2015, these were not recent and appear to have been addressed, as subsequent inspections in 2009 showed compliance.
