173 North 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

173 North 7th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by 173n7, LLC. The property has experienced recurrent maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns centering on plumbing systems, including a May 2024 water supply complaint that required HPD intervention. A significant cluster of maintenance issues occurred in late 2020, including multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow), roofing problems, electrical concerns, and plaster/ceiling issues, all of which received HPD attention and some resulted in issued violations.

The building has also faced pest challenges, with documented rodent sightings in 2022 and 2020, though recent inspection results have not confirmed ongoing infestations. The property's maintenance history reveals several code violations requiring attention, particularly in late 2020 when multiple issues were identified in Apartment 3, including problems with a defective light fixture, plastered surfaces, and door self-closing mechanisms. All these violations were subsequently closed.

In terms of recent history, the building has maintained a clean bedbug report record since 2020, with no reported infestations or required eradication efforts in any of the past eight reporting periods. A recent complaint regarding work without a permit from May 2024 ended with the inspector unable to gain access. While the building's systems have experienced recurrent issues requiring HPD intervention, many of these problems have been resolved through proper channels, though the frequency of plumbing-related complaints remains notable.
