442 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 442 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Arlynn Brody and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant compliance events over the past decade. Most recently, the building filed its annual bedbug report for the 2023-2024 period (as of May 2025), showing no current infestations or eradications, which marks an improvement from the earlier 2020-2021 period where 6 units required treatment.

The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring and reporting record since 2020, with all subsequent reports indicating zero current or re-infested units. In 2018, the building underwent an inspection that resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, all of which were closed by August 2018.

These violations primarily related to required safety and informational postings in the public hall, including notices about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration information. The building also had an initial rodent inspection in February 2016 that noted rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection in March 2016 resulted in a passing grade. The property, which has since converted to Class A status, has shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with timely correction of identified violations and maintaining up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance.
