7920 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The six-story, 48-unit building at 7920 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by James Dimitriades and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding water-related problems and heating systems. Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about both a slow water leak and heat/hot water issues, though inspections found no violations and the problems were reportedly resolved. The building has a documented pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2020-2025 involving water leaks, including a 2020 incident where violations were issued for damp spots.
Heating system problems have affected both individual apartments and the entire building, with emergency complaints in 2023 and 2025 showing this to be an ongoing concern. Safety and maintenance violations have also been recorded, particularly in relation to emergency systems and building security. In 2024, violations were issued for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1H, and in 2023, violations were recorded for doors preventing self-closing at building entrances.
The elevator system has required regular attention, with multiple complaints about single device service and various maintenance issues noted between 2021-2023, resulting in a 2023 notice for several required repairs with a $1,250 penalty. The building's management has maintained bedbug prevention protocols successfully, with annual reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units, and a July 2020 rodent inspection passed. While many violations have been resolved promptly, some issues remain open, including the 2024 violation regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1H, and there appears to be a recurring pattern of water-related maintenance issues that have persisted over multiple years.
