352 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 352 7th Street in Park Slope, owned by Geraldine Shanks and constructed in 1925, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most significant recent problems were documented in May 2024, including a water leak affecting Apartment 4R, emergency plumbing issues with a radiator, and an emergency mold situation. Multiple violations were issued during this inspection, including the need for proper sign maintenance, mailbox repair, and fire-retardant plaster repairs in common areas.

In October 2021, several related issues were noted, including water leaks, mold, a non-functional smoke detector, and problems with floors, all of which resulted in violations. The building's history shows recurring concerns with water leaks, as evidenced by both 2021 and 2024 complaints, along with issues related to walls and ceilings requiring attention. Additional historical context includes electrical safety concerns from 2019 (subsequently categorized as Environmental Control Board violations in 2021), which remain active with penalties related to unsafe electrical equipment and wiring.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reports of bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025). A rodent inspection from 2019 passed, indicating no significant rodent issues. While the building has had numerous maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, most recent complaints appear to have been addressed, though several violations remain open as of the latest inspection.
