7402 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

7402 17th Avenue is a 14-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Shir Veshavach Trust. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple complaints between February and June reporting problems affecting the entire building. Unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage have also been a recurring issue, with four complaints in 2025 alone, and violations issued by HPD in June 2025. The building has an open Department of Buildings violation from 2023 regarding a failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, and recent inspections revealed a need for repairs to the vestibule door locking device and issues with fire escape ladder shoes.

The property has undergone several inspections for rodent control, with the most recent passing inspection in June 2025. A significant maintenance issue was addressed in December 2024 involving mold remediation in Apartment 14's bathroom ceiling. Safety concerns were documented in 2024 regarding self-closing doors, defective smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 13. The building's elevator and structural systems appear to be generally compliant, with most recent inspections passing.

Bedbug reports show minimal activity, with only one reported case in 2023 that was subsequently resolved. Historical data indicates previous egress and maintenance concerns, though recent inspections have generally shown improvement in building conditions. The building's recent history (2022-2025) shows particular challenges with HVAC systems, waste management, and some safety features, though many complaints have been addressed through inspections and violations processes. Regular rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent filings suggest effective pest management protocols are in place.
