A number of people were present in the ground floor flat when the discovery was made.
Gardai are trying to establish how long his body may have laid there but believe it was there a number of days.
This morning, the Garda Technical Bureau carried out an examination before the body was removed earlier today.
Officers conducted also door-to-door enquiries while the scene remained closed off.
A post-mortem is to take place this afternoon.
A Garda spokesman said: "Gardaí are investigating all the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a body of a man at a residence in Kevin Barry House, Coleraine Street, Dublin 7, at approximately 6:20pm on Monday, 12th September, 2022.
"The body remains at the scene which is currently preserved for technical examination. An Garda Síochána has no further comment at this time."
