494 7Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

494 7th Street is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Seventh Street Capital 494, LLC. The property has experienced a notable pattern of construction-related issues between 2018 and 2020, with multiple complaints regarding construction safety compliance and work contrary to stop work orders.

In late 2020 alone, there were three separate complaints about construction safety compliance, two of which resulted in stop work orders (though these were subsequently rescinded). Earlier complaints in 2019 also documented concerns about unpermitted work and improper permit use, though inspections determined no violations were warranted at those times. The building underwent various permitted improvement work between 2019 and 2021, with multiple permit issuances including plumbing, electrical, and general alteration permits.

The timeline shows consistent activity on the property, with permits being filed and issued regularly from April 2019 through December 2021, suggesting ongoing renovation work. The most recent permits issued in December 2021 indicate that the construction activity had transitioned to an apparently compliant phase, with no subsequent complaints or violations recorded in the available data through October 2023. The pattern of construction-related complaints and subsequent resolution suggests that while there were significant safety compliance issues during the renovation period, these were addressed through proper regulatory channels, with no recorded violations in the past two years.
