7 Paerdegat 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 7 Paerdegat 5th Street in Canarsie, owned by Berangere Champagne, has been documented in the city's Department of Buildings records since its construction in 1960. The most significant recent issue occurred in mid-2022 when a complaint was filed regarding an unauthorized modification to the property, resulting in an Oath Violation.

This violation was confirmed on July 1, 2022, when inspectors noted that the original garage door had been permanently removed and replaced with a brick wall featuring a door and window installation, contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy specifications that designated a basement and ground-level garage. This modification has led to an active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $1,250.

The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with an initial inspection in October 2013 resulting in failure due to unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection in November of the same year resulted in a passing grade. The property, which consists of three units over two stories, has maintained its original 1960 structure with no further major modifications recorded in recent years, though the unauthorized modification to the garage space is of note in terms of building code compliance. The current date is July 2025, and as of the latest available data, no new violations or complaints have been recorded in the past three years.
