ESLint Config

import jsdoc from 'eslint-plugin-jsdoc';

{
    plugins: {
      jsdoc,
    },
    rules: {
      'jsdoc/no-blank-block-descriptions': 2,
    }
}

ESLint sample

/**
 *
 * Seniority levels that participate in distribution, in display
 * order. `custom` is never a real distribution key. Every test shown in this
 * modal can recruit each of these levels, so all three are always editable.
 */
const SENIORITY_ORDER = ['senior', 'middle', 'specialist'];

For some reason I don't see this case tested at https://github.com/gajus/eslint-plugin-jsdoc/blob/v64.2.1/docs/rules/no-blank-block-descriptions.md

Side quest: this is a result of convert-to-jsdoc-comments auto-fix, if there's bandwidth to look at that.

The fixer unconditionally prepends /\n${indent}* to the raw, unmodified comment.value.
comment.value is literally "\n * Seniority levels...\n */" (i.e. it already starts with \n * ). So the fixer glues /\n * + \n * Seniority levels... together — producing two newline+* sequences back to back, which is exactly the empty \n *\n line you're seeing. It never strips/dedupes the original leading \n * before re-prefixing its own.
