195 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

Located in Park Slope, this four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 195 7th Avenue was constructed in 1921 and is currently owned by Robert Silverblatt. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly focusing on one unit - Apartment 4R. In 2018, multiple violations were recorded regarding this unit, including problems with mold (approximately 6 sq. ft.

on the ceiling and 8 sq. ft. on the west wall in the kitchen), broken plaster surfaces, defective metal ceiling in the kitchen, and required painting work in both the kitchen and hallway. Although these violations were categorized as Class B and therefore more serious, they remain open as of October 2023. The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2023.

While no actual infestations were reported in the period from November 2022 to October 2024, the building received violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports. The most recent bedbug filing for the period ending October 2024 shows no infested units and no eradicated or re-infested units, suggesting an improvement in this regard. The most recent inspection in March 2023 shows a close status for the bedbug reporting violation, indicating possible resolution of this particular compliance issue. In summary, while there have been improvements in bedbug management as evidenced by recent filings showing no infestations, the building's history reveals persistent maintenance issues in Apartment 4R from 2018, including mold and plaster problems. The property has demonstrated challenges with regulatory compliance in its bedbug reporting obligations, though recent filings show improved management of this particular issue.
