342 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story Old Law Tenement at 342 7th Avenue in South Slope, built in 1887 and currently owned by Zipporah Goldstein, has experienced some notable incidents over the past few years. In March 2021, the building received a complaint regarding structural stability issues, specifically building shaking and vibration, which prompted an immediate inspection and resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

This structural concern led to two subsequent Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in May 2021, one for failing to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner related to a dangerously hanging realty sign, and another for not complying with a commissioner's order regarding building maintenance. The first violation incurred a penalty of $312, and the second for $625, though both have since been resolved.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods from 2018 through 2025. All bedbug reports during this time period, including the most recent filings in 2025, 2024, 2023, and earlier, show zero infested units, eradicated units, and re-infested units, indicating effective pest management and maintenance practices in this regard. While the historical violation records and structural complaint from 2021 are noteworthy, the building's recent bedbug-free status over multiple years suggests improved overall maintenance practices.
