2531 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The 6-story, 84-unit cooperative building at 2531 East 7th Street in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Martin Leventhal, has experienced recurring water-related issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, HPD documented multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks and damp spots, particularly affecting apartment 5D, which also has pending violations as of October 2023 for ceiling paint and window repairs.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018-2025, though there was one unit treated in 2019. The property has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including elevator service complaints in 2019 and 2022 that required attention, though inspections found no violations at the time. There were also violations related to energy reporting requirements in 2023, with one active violation remaining as of August 2023.

A critical examination of the building's exterior walls was reportedly not submitted as required in 2021. Historical records show the building has generally passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2019, suggesting reasonable pest control management. While there have been various maintenance issues over the years, the building has generally responded to violations and completed necessary repairs, as evidenced by the resolution of many complaints and violations through proper certification processes.
