426 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 1887 tenement building at 426 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by David Lloyd, has experienced several significant events in recent years that merit attention. Most notably, there was a food poisoning incident in April 2024, though this was deemed isolated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2023-2024, with three instances resulting in "Oath Violation Served" status.

The property faced electrical challenges in October 2022, with three separate reports of power outages resulting in emergency complaints, along with accompanying complaints regarding plumbing and unsanitary garbage conditions – all of which were ultimately closed without violations. During 2022, there were also reports of indoor air quality issues related to construction dust. Recent environmental control board violations in 2024, including one with a $6,250 penalty regarding inadequate tenant protection plans, were resolved, and there is currently one active DOB violation from April 2023 relating to the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection.

The building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the mandatory annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025. While there have been various inspection and compliance-related issues in recent years, particularly regarding tenant safety and construction-related matters, the absence of recurring health or pest issues is notable. The multiple inspections and complaints seem primarily related to temporary conditions rather than persistent systemic problems.
