175 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement located at 175 7th Avenue in Park Slope, currently owned by Larry Moskowitz and built in 1920, has recently experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water. In both December 2022 and February 2023, complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though in February 2023, HPD noted that these utilities had been restored according to tenant reports.

More concerning is the active violation issued in April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date, representing a potential safety compliance issue. On a positive note, the building has maintained an impeccable record regarding pest management, with the bedbug reporting system showing zero infestation cases consistently from 2019 through October 2024.

The property has shown good compliance with filing requirements, as evidenced by the absence of any negative reports in the bedbug monitoring system over the past several years, indicating effective pest control measures in place. However, the recent heat and hot water issues, combined with the outstanding violation regarding the low-pressure inspection filing, suggest that the building may be experiencing some infrastructure maintenance challenges that warrant attention.
