226 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

226 7th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building built in 1920, currently owned by Art Bellini. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems arising in 2025 including mold, pests, and door-related issues. Three separate complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold were reported in March 2025, resulting in housing violations.

The building has also had ongoing water-related problems, with violations recorded in both 2024 and 2023 related to leaks in apartments 3L and 4L. Earlier maintenance issues include reports of floor and wall problems in 2023, and multiple violations involving door and window issues. The property's exterior has faced structural concerns, evidenced by complaints and violations in 2022 regarding a sidewalk shed, building stability, and facade maintenance.

The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2022 for deteriorated cornices and facade cracks, with penalties imposed. An emergency violation for a door leading to the fire escape in apartment 3L was recorded in 2024, though some previous violations have since been closed. The building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free, with no infestations reported in the last five years, and passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2010. While there have been multiple hygiene-related complaints, including recent reports of unsanitary conditions, the building has generally complied with immediate inspection requirements, though some violations remain open as of the latest records.
