448 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

448 7th Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in South Slope, Brooklyn, owned by 448 Brooklyn LLC and constructed in 1899. The building's maintenance history reveals several periods of attention required to meet housing codes. Notably, there were repeated violations from 2022 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though these violations were ultimately closed.

The building experienced unsanitary conditions regarding garbage and recycling storage in late 2021, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. This issue was documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though these were eventually closed. Earlier records from 2016 indicate the presence of rat activity, with inspections in February and March of that year showing compliance issues.

While these rodent-related problems were significant at the time, subsequent records show no repeat inspections or violations regarding this matter. Importantly, the building's more recent bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025 shows consistently zero infested units, with the most recent filing in May 2025 confirming no current infestations or eradication efforts needed, which suggests successful pest management since the earlier violations. The building appears to be actively maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the 2022-2024 violations were addressed, and there have been no reported bedbug issues in the past three reporting periods.
