7323 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

7323 15th Avenue in Bensonhurst is a three-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Linda Farrauto. The building has recently experienced significant maintenance and safety compliance issues, with a housing maintenance code inspection on September 9, 2023 revealing multiple open violations that remain unresolved as of October 2023.

These violations include safety concerns such as obstructed fire escapes (blocked by flower pots and an air conditioner), missing or defective self-closing doors, and multiple notification requirements not being met—ranging from smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, to carbon monoxide detector requirements. Additionally, there are violations related to the proper posting of housing information guide notices and registration numbers, as well as an inspection certificate display requirement.

The building has also faced recent sanitary challenges, with a sewage-related complaint filed on August 14, 2023, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development; while no violations were issued from this inspection, it is notable that the complaint took over a month to resolve. However, on a positive note, the building appears to have maintained a bedbug-free status, with the most recent annual reporting period (2023-2024) showing zero infested units, and no history of infestations in the previous reporting period (2022-2023). This combination of unresolved safety and compliance violations, along with recent sanitary issues, suggests that the building may require attention to various maintenance and safety systems, though it has successfully maintained a bedbug-free environment.
