309 East 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
309 East 18th Street is a five-story, 20-unit residential building located in Gramercy, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Constantinos Kaimakliotis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a pattern of heat and hot water problems in November 2023 affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed during this period. More recent concerns include two electrical incidents in late 2024 related to a power outage and outlet/switch issues, both of which HPD was unable to inspect properly.
The building's history also reveals structural and safety concerns, including a door issue reported in June 2024 and various violations between 2019 and 2020 regarding security features like self-closing doors and fire escape obstructions. Regulatory compliance records indicate ongoing challenges with building systems, including a potentially active violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report as of November 2019. The building's bed bug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows minimal infestation incidents, with only two units reported affected in 2019, though recent filings indicate no new infestations since.
Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent compliance inspection in May 2025 passing, following a failed initial inspection in April 2025. Other notable violations include issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and water temperature controls in Apartment 1A, along with concerns about window security features in Apartment 1B as per 2020 inspections. Recent documents, including the 2024 bedbug report filing and rodent inspection results from 2015 to 2025, suggest active monitoring of pest control efforts, though with some continued challenges in system maintenance and safety compliance. The building's heating and hot water system appears to be a recurring area of concern, with multiple complaints and inspections relating to these amenities, particularly during the 2023-2024 period.
