315 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, three-unit old law tenement at 315 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Valerie Castellano and constructed in 1888, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2024, there were emergency heating and hot water complaints affecting multiple apartments, though these were subsequently addressed according to HPD reports.

The building underwent significant inspections in September 2022, revealing multiple violations across various categories including plumbing, flooring, paint/plaster, and door/window issues. Specifically, violations were documented for apartment 1 related to kitchen floor tiles, sink connections, door repairs, ceiling plaster/paint, and a water leak problem, along with a noted rodent infestation that was required to be abated. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development issued corresponding Notices of Violation (NOVs), which were generally closed by late 2022, though one open violation regarding kitchen ceiling paint/repair remains on record.

Positive notes in the building's recent history include consistent reports in the bedbug tracking system from 2020 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, indicating effective pest management. The most recent building-wide complaint history suggests that the heating system issues, while temporarily affecting tenant comfort, were promptly addressed. The property’s maintenance record shows a mix of urgent and non-urgent repairs being completed, with an overall trend towards resolution of most identified issues, though some violations from 2022 regarding various maintenance matters remain open or were not fully certified as resolved.
