143 North 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

143 North 7th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Linda Tawil. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaint in March 2025 regarding a non-functioning intercom system that HPD inspectors were unable to access for evaluation.

In June 2024, multiple violations were documented in apartment 3R, including plumbing issues with the bathtub, water leak problems in the kitchen ceiling, and various ceiling and window repairs needed. Notably, there are open violations related to missing safety features, including carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as issues with the bathroom flushing apparatus, window glass panes, and a self-closing door. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with building systems and safety features.

In March 2024, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues, though tenants reported the services had been restored at the time of inspection. The property has had some challenges maintaining compliance with external low-pressure inspection requirements, with violations issued from 2018-2022, though most were subsequently dismissed by the Department of Buildings. The building appears to have maintained an effective pest control program, with no reported incidents of bedbugs or significant rodent activity in recent inspections, passing rodent inspections in 2021 and 2024, and showing no evidence of rat activity during the latest 2024 inspection.
