702 Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

702 Evergreen Avenue is a three-story, six-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Abraham Grosz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. In July 2021, there were notable concerns about garbage storage and inadequate lighting, while throughout 2020, multiple complaints were filed regarding smoke detector problems.

A heating and hot water issue affecting apartment 1L was documented in January 2020, and more recent inspections in 2021 revealed several violations including problems with the building's heating system access, hot water supply, public hall maintenance, and lighting. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with multiple active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2022, though some earlier violations from 2019 were dismissed. In 2022, there were complaints regarding illegal conversion and construction work, though inspections were unable to gain access.

On a positive note, the building has demonstrated thorough pest management, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods from 2021-2024. Additionally, recent rodent inspections conducted annually from 2022 to 2025 have all passed, though there was a recorded rat activity issue in 2012. The property has consistently submitted bedbug reports showing zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 also showed no significant issues. While the building has had its share of violations and service requests, recent records indicate improved conditions regarding both pest control and rodent management, though the outstanding safety violations related to the low-pressure inspection filings remain a concern as of mid-2025.
