213 North 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

213 North 7th Street in Williamsburg is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 213 North 7th, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints recorded in December 2018 and January 2022, all of which were eventually resolved according to HPD records.

More recently, significant violations were noted in September 2024, particularly affecting apartment 4R, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problematic self-closing doors. Additional safety concerns were identified regarding the building's rear fire escape, requiring rust removal and painting, as well as repairs to the defective bottom front rail at the 4th-story balcony. The building has an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report.

On a positive note, 213 North 7th Street has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and passed its rodent inspection in November 2019. Historical violations from 2018 (regarding exterior lighting) and 2014 (smoke detector issues) were resolved, and recent bedbug reporting periods consistently show no infested units. While the building has had multiple heating system issues in the past, which are particularly concerning in terms of resident comfort, the current focus of violations appears to be primarily related to safety systems and maintenance rather than major infrastructure failures.
