388 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 3-unit residential tenement building at 388 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Moshe Khoshkheraman, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water emergency that was resolved within four days, and in July 2024, there were unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage that resulted in violations.

The building has a concerning pattern of heating system issues, as evidenced by a 2018 Department of Buildings violation regarding a defective boiler that led to multiple serious safety concerns involving corrosion, leaking, and improper safety discharge, though this was resolved with a penalty of $312. Two active violations remain regarding failure to file annual boiler inspection reports for 2017 and 2018. The building has undergone several inspections and faced various complaints, including a 2024 investigation into illegal hotel rooms and a 2021 inquiry about unauthorized work, though no violations were found in these cases.

While bedbug reporting compliance has been maintained, with no infestations reported in the annual filings from 2022-2024, the building's maintenance history shows periodic issues requiring attention. The property has also faced challenges with garbage storage and recycling management, as demonstrated by the 2024 violation. While some historical concerns have been addressed (such as the 2018 boiler violations), the pattern of heating system problems and the presence of active violations regarding boiler inspection requirements suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
