19 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

19 7th Avenue is a historic 4-story, 8-unit building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1882 and currently owned by Nolan Shea. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention.

Most pressing is an active violation as of April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, representing non-compliance with building maintenance requirements. In March 2023, the building received a Notice of Violation (NOV) for not filing the annual bedbug report, a requirement that has appeared consistently in previous years' filings (2018, 2021, and 2022), though importantly, recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, indicating successful management of this issue. The building has had several safety-related violations that have been addressed, including a 2018 violation for inadequate emergency procedures regarding gas leaks (still listed as open), and multiple violations concerning self-closing doors at various entrances, though these were resolved by early 2019.

The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2011, with only one instance of reported rat activity in 2011. The building's heating system had an emergency complaint in November 2018, which was promptly closed, though there have been no similar complaints since. While the building has had its share of regulatory violations and maintenance issues, many of these have been addressed, with the exception of the open gas leak notice and the recent low-pressure inspection violation.
