7917 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

This two-unit, two-story building at 7917 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Jinho Kim and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2023, with four separate complaints filed between September and November 2023. While heat and hot water were reportedly restored following the most recent complaint in November 2023, violations were issued in connection with an earlier November complaint.

The building has also faced multiple emergency situations in the past, including two heavy water leak incidents in late 2019 that resulted in violations, a cooking gas issue in September 2023, and a window safety concern in December 2018 involving broken or missing window guards. The property has undergone several inspections and corrective actions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health (DOHMH), with particular attention paid to food establishment violations between 2019-2021, including issues with food handling practices and the presence of rodents/insects/garbage.

Despite these challenges, recent records show no bedbug activity for the reporting period between November 2022 and October 2023, with all reported units remaining free of infestation and successful eradication efforts documented in the previous period. The building's most recent documented issues have primarily centered around heating systems, with multiple emergency complaints requiring HPD intervention and subsequent closure of these matters, though the persistence of heating problems suggests ongoing maintenance concerns.
