1982 West 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, three-unit building at 1982 West 7th Street in Gravesend, owned by Kokpin Sang and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in the past year. Between late May and June 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, with two emergency complaints not resulting in inspections due to lack of access, and subsequent investigations in June leading to violations for inadequate heating system access and hot water availability.

Additional violations were documented in June 2024, including issues with an electric/gas range in Apartment 1, a missing or defective self-closing door hinge in the same unit, and a requirement for repair and proper painting of plastered surfaces in Apartment 1. The building's heating system maintenance has been a particular area of concern, with a Department of Buildings complaint in May 2024 regarding a defective boiler that was determined to have no violation upon inspection. Despite these recent issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual filings from 2021 through 2024 reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's history also shows prior violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though these appear to have been resolved. While there have been various maintenance issues in recent years, including heating system concerns, door repairs, and appliance problems, all violations issued in 2024 were subsequently closed, indicating they were addressed, though recent inspections did reveal access issues. The building's owners have consistently filed the required bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, demonstrating compliance with one important housing maintenance requirement.
