137 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 137 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Renato Vilardo and built in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of service requests in February 2025 regarding safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), window maintenance, and heat/hot water issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

The building has faced ongoing heat and hot water system challenges, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though some were eventually resolved or did not violate HPD housing laws. There are also three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports. The building has three active Department of Buildings violations as of mid-2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections (2018, 2021, and 2022), which require attention.

Earlier maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system issues, particularly in late 2023, as well as plumbing problems involving radiators. On a positive note, a rodent inspection from January 2018 showed compliance with safety standards. The property's permit history from late 2018 indicates some maintenance activity, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the available data.
