428 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

428 7th Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in South Slope and built in 1887, currently owned by David Lloyd. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in December 2024 alone, representing an ongoing maintenance challenge. There have been significant water-related problems, with several emergency water leak complaints between March and April 2024, including both heavy and slow leaks.

The building's maintenance history indicates several infrastructure concerns, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2022/2023 related to the roof bulkhead area, including requirements for proper maintenance of fire-retardant materials, paint requirements, and roof extension egress issues. The building has undergone multiple inspections under Local Law 188/17 compliance programs, with some resulting in "Oath Violation Served" determinations. Environmental Control Board violations in early 2024 indicate issues with the tenant protection plan during construction work, though these were resolved with penalties paid.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2025. Recent complaint patterns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related issues, with multiple incidents requiring HPD intervention but often resulting in access difficulties for inspection purposes. The building's age and history suggest a need for ongoing attention to both basic services and compliance with building codes.
