305 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

305 7th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Park Slope, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Msg Holdings LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple water leak complaints between 2022-2023, including three slow leaks that resulted in violations. The property has also had several electric-related problems, with the most recent power outages occurring in June 2025, which prompted HPD inspections that could not be completed.

These outages were accompanied by emergency electrical wiring complaints. The building has documented problems with structural maintenance, including multiple violations for wall and ceiling paint/plaster issues in 2023, and an active violation from 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. Safety concerns have been noted in various inspection reports, including exposed electrical wires in the 1R apartment hallway (January 2023) and problems with self-closing doors in multiple locations, though many of these issues have been addressed and closed in subsequent inspections. The building's systems have been the subject of multiple HPD violations, including plumbing issues documented in 2021.

While there were reports of rodent activity in 2016 and 2019, recent inspections have passed, suggesting improved pest management. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero affected units. Two complaints related to illegal conversion and unpermitted work were filed in 2019-2021, though they were either closed due to lack of access for inspection or no violations found. The most recent building violation regarding the external low-pressure inspection, issued in September 2024, remains active as of the latest available data.
