80 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 80 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Jacob Seligson, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months (January-March 2025). Notable problems include heating and hot water system failures, multiple paint/plaster violations affecting walls and ceilings, and various appliance-related complaints.

A significant structural concern has emerged, with a January 2025 violation noting vertical and horizontal cracking in walls on both the second and third floors, as well as issues with separating stair treads and risers leading to the second-floor landing. The building also underwent construction work in early 2025, resulting in multiple complaints regarding work performed contrary to stop work orders, though inspections generally found no violations at that time.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations, with zero reported cases of bedbugs over the past six years and a passed rodent inspection in June 2025. While many recent complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, including a 2025 indoor air quality issue involving construction dust, several violations remain open as of October 2023, particularly related to paint/plaster conditions. The building's historical violation record from the 1980s shows past issues with inadequate lighting in common areas and unauthorized modifications to the vestibule, though these were all eventually closed with appropriate certifications.
