433 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, seven-unit old law tenement building at 433 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Sarah Ramirez and constructed in 1894, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the open violations related to the required annual bedbug report filings in 2023 and 2024, though previous reports from 2021 and 2022 showed no evidence of infestation during the respective reporting periods.

The building has multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations as of 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018 and 2019, as well as an unaddressed violation from 2019 regarding the annual boiler inspection report from 2017. More recent incidents include a December 2023 violation regarding the building's facade, with documented issues of cracking and peeling above a window lintel resulting in a $1,250 penalty, and a complaint about debris or potential falling hazards that same month, which was inspected and resulted in an Oath Violation.

While a food poisoning incident was reported and investigated by the Department of Health in October 2020, it was deemed isolated and not indicative of broader issues. It's worth noting that the building appears to have complied with bedbug reporting requirements for two consecutive years (2020-2021 and 2019-2020) showing zero infested units, while the most recent filings (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) have not indicated non-compliance in this specific area, despite the open violations noted above.
