7407 New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-story, two-family house at 7407 New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Sherman Pang and constructed in 1931, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past several years, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in 2018. During that year, multiple complaints were filed regarding building safety concerns, including illegal plumbing work (with possible implications for sprinkler/standpipe systems) and defective/exposed electrical wiring, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues despite multiple attempts.

Additionally, there was a complaint filed about an adult establishment, which was investigated but found to have no violations warranting action. In mid-2018, the building received an Environmental Control Board violation related to unauthorized construction work, specifically regarding a business awning installation above the entrance, measuring approximately 20 feet long and 4 feet wide, for a "Nicwel Beauty Slimming" establishment.

However, this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. Interestingly, shortly after the violation was issued, a permit for the same work was filed and subsequently issued within weeks, suggesting proper channels were eventually pursued for the modification. Since these 2018 incidents, there have been no recorded complaints or violations related to the property in the available data up to October 2023, indicating a period of compliance with building regulations.
