7 South Portland Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 7 South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Charles Wendell and constructed in 1876, has experienced several significant health and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent problems, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing violations in both November 2022 (specifically for mouse sightings) and August 2022 (rat sightings), though a subsequent inspection in August 2022 found no violations.
The building has also been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent open violation from April 2024 still pending resolution. The property has undergone various inspections and compliance checks under Local Law 188/17 regarding scaffold safety, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 yielding no violations. In early 2024, a violation was recorded regarding improperly installed supported pipe scaffold, resulting in a $312 penalty that has been resolved.
The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several reporting periods, showing zero infestation or re-infestation cases for the filings in 2021-2022, 2019-2020, and 2017-2018. Permits for various maintenance work have been continually issued and processed between 2020 and 2022, indicating regular upkeep of the property's systems and structures. While the building has faced multiple health and safety inspections, the majority of recent inspections have resulted in either no violations or have been promptly addressed, though the recurring rodent issues and open bedbug reporting violation are notable ongoing concerns.
