489 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story, four-unit building at 489 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by 489 7th Ave LLC, was constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The property experienced several maintenance issues in 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed in April 2022 regarding water leaks (heavy flow), ceiling and wall paint/plaster issues, and mold problems.
In September 2022, there was a notable incident involving cooking gas, which resulted in violations for inadequate gas supply to fixtures in Apartment 1, along with violations for a defective self-closing door and a roach infestation in that same unit. Housing Maintenance Code violations were also cited in September 2022, including requirements for posting various safety notices related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and emergency procedures, though some of these violations remain open. Recent activity includes a construction-related complaint from May 2025, though no violations were found upon inspection.
A technical violation was issued in April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which was dismissed in April 2024. The building has consistently maintained a clean record with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the six previous annual inspections between 2019 and 2023. Proper notice requirements for various safety systems and procedures, including gas leak response procedures and heating system access, are still pending resolution as indicated by the remaining open violations from September 2022.
