7 Lexington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

7 Lexington Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 2013. The property, owned by Andrew Wrublin, has experienced several notable incidents, particularly regarding heating and safety compliance. In December 2022, a heat and hot water emergency was reported and subsequently investigated by HPD, resulting in multiple violations, including inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartment APTC on the 3rd story.

The building also faced significant safety compliance issues in December 2022, with multiple violations issued including missing notices for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas, as well as access issues to the building's heating system. All these violations were closed as of March 2023. The building has a documented rodent sighting complaint from January 2020 that remains unresolved as of now.

More recently, in December 2024, an inspection noted a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though records show consistent reporting from 2019-2025 with no confirmed infestations in any reporting periods. The property has shown some improvement in maintenance response, with the most recent bedbug report (January 2025) showing no infested or re-infested units, and all previous bedbug filings from 2019-2024 indicating zero infested units. Despite the building's relatively new construction date, these maintenance and compliance issues indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and safety requirements, though recent bedbug reporting suggests improved management of that particular concern.
