1702 West 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 37-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1702 West 7th Street in Gravesend, owned by Emilia Rajacic, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2025. Notable recurring problems include multiple complaints about refrigerator issues, a series of heating and hot water problems in early 2025, and plumbing/water supply violations. An inspection in August 2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 3EL related to water damage, including issues with paint, plaster, and water leaks, as well as problems with a door lock and radiator.

The building has a history of heating system concerns, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in January 2025, and boiler-related issues reported in early 2025. Previous violations include three ECB violations from 2020 related to facade maintenance and building safety, though these were resolved. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations since 2022 and passing rodent inspections in 2018, 2021, and 2016.

However, there is currently an active violation regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, cited in April 2021 and still listed as open. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with various systems and components, including multiple appliance-related complaints, heating system problems, and plumbing issues. While some violations have been resolved, there are several outstanding issues that require attention, particularly in Apartment 3EL, where multiple violations were documented in August 2024. The building has experienced multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections, leading to closed complaints without resolution verification, most recently observed in 2025 regarding various system issues.
