7102 20th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 3-story, 4-unit tenement building at 7102 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Jaime Rodriguez, has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water delivery over recent years. The most recent complaints were filed in October 2024, affecting the entire building, and there have been multiple similar complaints between 2021-2023, including emergency calls that were reportedly resolved.

The building also faced plumbing challenges, including toilet and water supply issues in 2022 and 2021 respectively. Several property maintenance violations have been documented, with the most concerning being active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file required external low pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021). In addition to infrastructure concerns, the building has had various safety-related violations.

In 2022, there were issues with windows in Apartment 2R, while in 2021, violations were noted regarding fire safety equipment including smoke detectors and door functionality. While there appears to have been a bedbug issue historically, with four units reported affected in 2019-2020, recent filings (most recently in May 2025) indicate no current infestations or eradication efforts during the 2023-2024 period. The building has undergone several inspections and received violations for not maintaining proper documentation and for various code infractions, though many of these have been closed through compliance or correction of the noted issues.
