216 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, two-unit building at 216 7th Street in Gowanus, owned by Wolf Eisenbach, has a documented history dating back to 1901. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to bedbug reporting compliance. Open violations from 2021 through 2024 indicate the building has failed to submit the required annual bedbug reports, as mandated by Section A of the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also faced multiple heating and plumbing issues, particularly in December 2020, when emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and radiator problems. While the heat issue was resolved quickly, the plumbing complaint's resolution status remains ambiguous in the records. The property has had some rodent-related concerns, with two rat sightings reported in 2019 and 2021, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations in the 2021 case.

However, between 2016-2019, there was documented rat activity, with multiple inspections showing either rat activity or bait application during that period. The building's most recent inspection in 2024, as of the latest available data, shows an open violation status, while previous inspections from 2023 and 2022 also noted bedbug reporting violations. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the Health Department's inspections have generally found no significant violations beyond the reporting requirements, and the August 2021 rodent inspection was passed. The building is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B," indicating it has been converted from its original use, though the specific original and current uses are not detailed in the records.
