AI summary · updated June 2026

30 West 18th Street, a 21-story residential building constructed in 2005 and owned by Joe Hakimian, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025 and October 2024, there were complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with HPD intervention documented in all cases, though access issues and complaints about unresolved conditions were noted. A significant water leak incident occurred in July 2024, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections consistently from 2010 to 2023, two notable violations were recorded in 2024: one related to a missing or defective self-closing door at the building entrance, and another concerning the failure to file the required annual bedbug report. The property also faced several administrative violations regarding documentation filings between 2020-2023, including external wall inspections and energy benchmarking reports, though many of these were subsequently dismissed or resolved. A historical complaint from 2018 regarding illegal hotel rooms was investigated but no violations were found.
