177 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

177 7th Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Park Slope, built in 1931 and currently owned by 177 Seventh LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly noticeable in early 2024, with seven separate complaints filed between February and April 2024, all marked as emergencies.

While some inspections were conducted, in several instances, inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments. A notable building violation remains open from February 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartment 2R. The building had a single electrical wiring complaint in October 2022 that was resolved with corrections confirmed by HPD.

In early 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding work being done without proper permits, particularly during January through April 2022, though most of these complaints were closed with no violations found upon inspection. The building underwent about 50% completion of unspecified work involving new electrical cables and lights in the commercial space during this period, resulting in a $625 penalty that has since been resolved. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no infestations reported in the annual inspections from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices by the current ownership.
