159 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

159 18th Street is a six-unit, three-story old law tenement building located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, owned by Ravindra Kumar and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a reported pest problem in November 2023, which was investigated and corrected according to HPD records.

In 2021, the property faced multiple plumbing-related complaints, including issues with water supply, basins/sinks, and bathtubs/showers, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building's air quality was also flagged as a concern in July 2021, resulting in an advisory to the owner. The property has had three consecutive violations from March 2021 through April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under NYC Housing Maintenance Code, though these appear to have been resolved given the subsequent filings.

Notably, the building's recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2022 show no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating successful pest management in recent years. A single complaint regarding adjacent buildings was filed in May 2021, but no violations were found at that time. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, recent records suggest conditions have generally improved, with no active violations or significant complaints on file in the most recent period.
