207 Avenue M, Brooklyn, NY 11230

207 Avenue M in Midwood is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sergey Denevich. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with nine recorded complaints of building-wide heat and hot water failures between 2020 and 2025.

Most recently, in early 2025, multiple complaints were made between February and March regarding these issues, though in some cases, inspectors were unable to access the building for verification. A notable violation was issued in December 2023, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found violations related to door security and self-closing mechanisms on the first floor, which were subsequently addressed in January 2025. The building has several open violations with the Department of Buildings related to the failure to file required external low pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020, as of June 2023.

Previous safety concerns were documented in November 2023 regarding inadequate heating and hot water systems, while a violation from June 2022 required paint maintenance on the south fire escape and front facade. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five filing periods between 2020 and 2025. The property has shown regular compliance with housing maintenance regulations, with most violations being promptly addressed or closed, though the recurring heat and hot water issues suggest a persistent infrastructure challenge.
