890 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

890 East 7th Street is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building in Midwood, constructed in 1971 and currently owned by Yevgeny Macheret. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly in late 2020 when multiple complaints were filed between November and December, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While many of these complaints were resolved through inspections, some required re-filing for proper resolution.

More recently, in June 2024, the building was inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in several open violations that warrant attention. These violations include requirements to post proper notices, repair fire retardant materials, and repaint specific areas in the first-story public hall and vestibule. Specifically, there are open violations related to the building's entrance story concerning the superintendent's contact information, fire safety materials, and paint condition.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019. A recent Department of Buildings inspection in April 2024 concerning water drainage was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The most current service issue on record is from December 2023, involving janitorial/superintendent-related concerns, which was closed in June 2024. While the building has faced periodic maintenance issues, particularly during the winter of 2020, the resolution of these complaints and the absence of recent infestations suggest some level of improved stability, though the open violations from the 2024 inspection should be noted.
