1665 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1665 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 42-unit apartment building located in Midwood, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Ronald Katz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints in early 2025, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2022 and 2021. While HPD inspections typically confirmed restoration of services, the frequency of these outages suggests an ongoing maintenance concern.

The building has also dealt with various other maintenance issues, including a significant water leak complaint in 2021, unsanitary conditions related to mold, and electrical safety concerns in the first-story public hall regarding missing outlet safety covers, which remain an open violation since 2019. Additional historical context includes two elevator service complaints in 2020, though inspections found no violations, and an Environmental Control Board violation that year related to various mechanical and safety issues. The building's management has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past seven years (2018-2025).

A permit for electrical work was issued in both April and June 2021, suggesting proactive maintenance of building systems. A recent open violation regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores was issued in April 2021, though it appears no penalty was imposed. The consistent pattern of heat/hot water complaints across multiple years, while often resolved, indicates this particular issue remains a recurring concern for residents.
