7219 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

7219 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Weifeng Guo. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with multiple HPD complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building from 2018 through 2021, though in some cases inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has also faced various safety and compliance matters; in 2020, multiple violations were noted including the need to post proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in the first-story common area, as well as maintaining an accessible inspection certificate. A notable safety concern was recorded in 2019 regarding an air conditioning unit obstructing a fire escape at the second story balcony. The building's most recent records indicate improved conditions, with no active violations as of 2024 and recent bedbug reports showing zero infested units between 2022-2024.

While there were several HPD complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2021, these were mostly resolved, with tenants reporting restoration of services. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with records showing successful eradication of 6 units in 2019 and no subsequent infestations. An improvement in building management practices is suggested by the absence of recent heating system complaints and violations, though it's worth noting that many previous HPD visits resulted in access issues for inspectors.
