451 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, eight-unit building at 451 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Jeffrey Groner, has a documented history dating back to its 1921 construction as an Old Law Tenement.

The most significant recent incident was a water leak complaint in October 2021, characterized as "heavy flow," which resulted in an HPD inspection attempt that was ultimately unsuccessful due to lack of access, and the case was closed without resolution. Prior to this, in August 2020, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, which also ended in an "unable to gain access" determination by the inspector.

In 2022, the building received an Environmental Control Board violation relating to inadequate emergency lighting in corridors and exit discharges, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. Notably, the property has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug infestations over the past seven years, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2023 showing zero affected or re-infested units, and successful eradication in any previous instances, which indicates diligent pest management and preventive measures.
