64 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

64 Church Avenue is a four-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by George Malafis. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with significant complaints documented in both 2018 and December 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The most recent incident in December 2022 generated multiple emergency complaints and required HPD intervention, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of inspection. Two violations were issued related to building notices: a Class C violation in December 2022 regarding the heating system contact information at the first story public hall, and an A violation from March 2018 concerning the posting of superintendent contact information, though the latter remains listed as open with no certification details provided.

The building has documented a total of three bedbug incidents over the past five years, with the most recent report from December 2023 showing no active infestations, following two consecutive years (2021-2023) with one unit affected each time, though all cases were reported as eradicated before the subsequent filing. The current bedbug record for the period ending October 2024 shows no affected units. The building's heat/hot water system issues and periodic bedbug infestations appear to be the two most significant recurring issues affecting tenant quality of life, though recent records indicate the bedbug situation has improved with no reported infestations in the past year.
