7026 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

7026 New Utrecht Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Salvatore Geraci. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 affecting the entire building, for which violations were issued. Similar heat-related complaints were documented in October 2022, October 2020, and November 2019, with inspections confirming restoration of services in some cases.

In mid-2019, multiple maintenance issues were reported, including water leaks, door/window problems, ceiling plaster issues, and appliance concerns, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection of these complaints. The building has two active violations as of the latest records from 2019, related to building cleanliness and door security. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024, with no documented infestations in any of the annual reports, indicating effective management of this pest control requirement.

Three bedbug-related violations were issued between 2019 and 2024, though these records appear to be from routine inspection requirements rather than infestation issues. The most recent building inspection occurred in April 2024, which included a violation notice regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements. A discrepancy between the 311 service requests and the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints shows the 2025 heat issue was classified as "Emergency" while the 311 complaint was marked as "Closed," suggesting a possible documentation inconsistency. The building's permit history shows a single recorded permit from November 2018 for unspecified work, listed under permit type "AL."
