465 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-story, 125-unit residential building at 465 East 7th Street in Kensington, owned by Moshe Rhine and constructed in 1963, has experienced significant infrastructure challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building faced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints logged between February and March 2025 regarding these fundamental services. An investigation into water supply problems was initiated in March 2025 but could not be completed due to access issues.

The building has also had documented mold issues, particularly in 2024 in Unit 4F, along with various maintenance violations affecting multiple units. The property has a concerning history of elevator-related problems, with numerous complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding multiple devices and alternate service issues, though inspections frequently found no violations warranting action. In the spring and summer of 2023, several elevator system components required attention, including brake assembly replacement and motor repairs, resulting in at least one monetary penalty for maintenance failures.

Additional findings from 2024 inspections revealed various interior maintenance needs, including repairs to plaster surfaces and paint, as well as safety concerns involving smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Though the building has had occasional bedbug incidents, recent filings from 2022 onward show zero reported infestations, with only one case noted in 2019 that was resolved. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with several compliance failures noted between 2009 and 2016, though all recent inspections have passed.
