274 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 26-unit, 3-story building at 274 Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, owned by 274 Seventh Ave Realty Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recent safety-related complaints from May 2025 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector compliance, and multiple emergency complaints in March 2025 regarding mold, window and door frame issues, and electrical problems, all of which HPD inspectors were unable to access the building to properly investigate.

The building has also faced consistent mold-related problems, with emergency complaints recorded in both 2022 and 2025. Other notable issues include a water supply complaint in January 2025 that HPD found did not violate housing laws, and heat/hot water issues in 2023 that were investigated but resulted in no violations. The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations as of September 2023, mostly related to required safety notices and postings, including those for smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information.

These violations include missing or inadequate notices regarding bedbug reporting, which is particularly notable as the building has maintained a record of zero infested dwelling units in its bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024). The property has passed all recent rodent inspections (2021, 2023) and had no food-related complaints on record until a currently open food poisoning complaint filed in December 2024. While the building has shown improvement with no bedbug infestations in recent years and passed rodent inspections, the recent spate of safety-related complaints and open violations regarding safety postings and building maintenance procedures raises ongoing concerns about consistent maintenance and safety compliance.
