59 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

59 7th Avenue is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, owned by Michael Calabrese and constructed in 1921. The property has experienced several notable incidents over recent years, most significantly three food poisoning complaints between 2024 and 2021, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene determining these were isolated incidents.

The building's maintenance record shows persistent rodent-related issues, with multiple baiting operations conducted in early 2018 followed by a period of rat activity in September 2018 and subsequent inspections showing mixed results, including inspections passing in December 2021 and November 2021. The property has also had problems with compliance and record-keeping, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspection filings in 2019, 2023, and 2024, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building's current concerns include an open violation from May 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which requires the installation of a minimum 100-watt light fixture.

While there have been no reports of bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 through 2024, the building's management has faced challenges maintaining proper documentation and meeting regular inspection requirements. This includes three instances of failing to file annual boiler inspection reports between 2017 and 2019, though these violations were also subsequently dismissed. The most recent 311 service calls indicate a recurring theme of food-related complaints, though these have been resolved with no ongoing status as of the latest records.
