7123 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The four-story, 18-unit tenement building at 7123 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Colette Ford and constructed in 1914, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with active Housing Maintenance Code violations filed in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all citing the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules.

The building also has active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. While historical bedbug reporting from 2017 through 2019 showed no infested units, the current open violations suggest ongoing regulatory compliance issues.

Recent service requests include a 2024 investigation into food worker hygiene by the Department of Health, which has since been closed, and a 2023 complaint about beekeeping that remains in progress as of October 2023. The building's records show some permit activity, including an issued permit in late 2018 related to exterior work. The combination of open bedbug reporting violations and unfiled pressure inspections points to potential regulatory oversight challenges, though it's worth noting that previous bedbug reports indicated no infestations between 2017-2019, suggesting these violations may be more administrative in nature than indicative of current pest issues.
