374 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 374 7th Avenue in South Slope, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Marisa Babakhanhersini, has had several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024 that have not been certified as resolved. The building has experienced recurring safety system concerns, particularly in 2018 when multiple apartments had issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection systems, though some of these violations were subsequently closed.

Recent maintenance requests include a window frame issue in 2024, which was resolved through HPD inspection. The building has a history of heat and hot water complaints, with emergency requests recorded in July and August 2018, though inspections either could not be performed or resulted in no violations. Other notable past violations include problems with the fire escape system in 2018, where rust removal and painting work was required, and obstructions in egress from fire escapes due to wires, flower pots, and household items on balconies.

The building's documented issues suggest ongoing attention is required to maintain safety systems and compliance with housing maintenance codes. The most recent service request regarding the window frame was addressed promptly within two weeks. While many historical violations have been closed, the persistent bedbug reporting violation from 2021 to present stands out as a current compliance issue. The property's age and historic building class of OLD LAW TENEMENT are consistent with the types of maintenance issues experienced, particularly regarding safety systems and structural elements like windows and fire escapes.
