279 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-unit, three-story residential building at 279 7th Street in Park Slope, owned by Jacquelyn Powell, has a century-plus history dating back to 1901 as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" structure. The building's recent history from 2018 to 2025 reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance.
The property has consistently received violations (2021-2024) for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, though the most recent report filed in May 2024 covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating no infested units (0 reported) during that time. In September 2021, there was a significant structural concern when a complaint about building shaking and vibration was investigated, leading to the issuance of violations due to damage sustained to the metal perimeter fence and handrails from a vehicle impact.
Earlier, between 2018-2022, the building experienced varying rodent activity levels: an August 2022 inspection revealed rat activity (initial inspection) while a September 2022 compliance inspection passed. Two previous rodent inspections in November 2019 and April 2018 both passed, suggesting that while rodent issues occurred, there were periods of compliance. Given the age of the building and its documented history, particularly the more recent issues with bedbug reporting compliance and the 2021 vehicle impact incident, these events warrant attention when considering the building's overall maintenance record.
