41 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, eight-unit building at 41 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Heron Jones, has a mixed maintenance history since it was built in 1872. The most significant recent issue occurred in January 2021, when there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water, though these problems were reportedly resolved within days according to both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code records.

The building has an open Class C violation from April 2021 regarding a defective wood tread on the second-story public hall stairs, though this does not appear to have been formally certified. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a clean record over the past five years, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the eight consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2025.

The rodent situation in the building's earlier history shows a period of concern in 2010, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application, though a compliance inspection in January 2016 indicated that these issues had been resolved. While the building has had some maintenance issues over the years, the absence of recent bedbug or rodent problems suggests improved pest management practices, though the outstanding stairway repair from 2021 warrants attention in terms of resident safety.
