249 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
249 7th Street in Gowanus is a 3-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Robert Cox. The building's documented history shows minimal concerning incidents, with only one Department of Buildings complaint registered in August 2021 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling; however, this complaint was promptly investigated the same day and found to have no violations warranting further action.
The property has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting from 2019 through late 2024 showing zero infested units, zero need for eradication, and no re-infestations in any reporting period. This clean record has been maintained across eight consecutive annual filings, with the most recent reports for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 continuing the trend of complete infestation absence.
Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in July 2018 resulted in a passing grade for the building, further indicating successful management of common urban pest issues. The overall maintenance record suggests regular oversight of building conditions, with particular attention to the historically common issues of bedbugs and rodents in New York City tenements.
