230A 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

230A 7th Street in Gowanus is a 5-story, 9-unit Class A residential building constructed in 2003 and currently owned by Steve Spectyor. The building experienced notable issues with heat and water systems in May 2022, with complaints filed regarding both heat/hot water and water supply problems throughout the entire building.

While the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Department investigated these complaints, they were only able to access some areas during their inspections, and no violations were issued; however, one complaint was designated as an emergency and the other as an immediate emergency, both subsequently closed. The building's history shows consistent cleanliness in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations or eradication attempts over multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2023.

A thorough examination of the building's pest control history reveals attention to rodent issues, particularly in 2016-2017, when multiple inspections documented rat activity and bait application, though there have been no such reports since then. The most recent building-wide inspections and complaints suggest improved conditions, with no recurring patterns of significant maintenance issues in the past several years. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to reported problems, as evidenced by the timely closure of 311 complaints, though access issues during inspections may warrant attention to access protocols in emergency situations.
