443 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story Old Law Tenement at 443 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Thomas Marr, is a seven-unit building constructed in 1915 that has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple issues relating to compliance with Local Law 188/17, with recent inspections in 2024 showing no violations, though a complaint from July 2024 is still marked as active.

The building has undergone three inspections between 2024 and 2023 regarding sidewalk shed or scaffold issues, all of which resulted in no violations being found. A work without permit violation was recorded in November 2023, and two violations were issued in September 2022 concerning unauthorized electrical work and signage for a ground-floor business, resulting in $2,050 in penalties, though quickly resolved.

The building has maintained an active and consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and confirming successful eradication of any affected units. A chemical odor complaint was filed in April 2022 and investigated by the Department of Health, though this appears to have been related to an existing service request. The property has shown general responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of most violations and the maintaining of bedbug reporting compliance, with particular attention to the ground-floor commercial space which has been subject to multiple inspections and compliance checks.
