599 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

599 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 114-unit residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Maria Valente. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water over the past several years, with multiple complaints documented between 2018 and 2024, though most were resolved promptly and did not result in violations.

Pest problems have also been a persistent concern, with recent complaints in July 2024 and October 2022, the former complaint having been closed without inspection due to access issues. The building has two open violations as of July 2024 related to missing safety notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and missing inspection certificate frames in the first-story public hall, though these are classified as "Class A" violations which generally indicate less immediate risk. The property has undergone various safety inspections and maintenance activities, with some notable findings including issues with door self-closing mechanisms and safety features in 2024 that were subsequently addressed.

The building has a history of bedbug infestations, with reports showing two units affected in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) and one unit in the previous year, though no units were reported as eradicated. The building's systems and infrastructure appear to have received attention when needed, with records showing prompt responses to emergencies and the issuance of appropriate permits for maintenance work in 2018. A rodent inspection in 2019 was passed, indicating compliance with basic pest control requirements.
