5703 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 5703 7th Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Grace Campo and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant events over the past few years with the most pressing issues centering around construction activities. In 2024, there were multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to a proposed one-story horizontal extension at the rear of the building and conversion of a laundromat to retail space, with concerns about unsafe work conditions, lack of safety measures, and construction site hazards resulting in penalties totaling $10,000.

The building has also faced ongoing challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving annual violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to submit the required annual bedbug reports, though these are classified as Class A violations which typically indicate less immediate health concerns. Additionally, the property has experienced some regulatory compliance issues, including multiple violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports between 2018-2020, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.

In terms of recent inspections, a February 2023 rodent inspection passed, and a mobile food vendor complaint regarding smoke/odor was investigated and closed by the NYC Health Department in 2025. The building's current maintenance status shows several open violations, most notably the active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection from July 2024 where the inspector was unable to gain access for the first attempt. While the building has maintained basic safety standards, the recurring bedbug reporting violations and recent construction-related safety issues suggest ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
