221 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The two-story, three-unit building at 221 18th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Lawrence Vaccaro, has been subject to regular inspections and compliance requirements over the past several years. Most notably, the building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four documented violations requiring the owner to file annual bedbug reports per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

While these violations were noted in inspection records, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 shows no infested dwelling units between November 2022 and October 2023, and previous reports from 2021 also indicated zero infested units. The building's rodent inspection history from 2018 presents a mixed picture of compliance and conditions, with successful passing results on three inspections, including two initial inspections and one compliance inspection.

However, there was one failed inspection in June 2018 for "Other Reasons," though the specific nature of this failure is not detailed in the records. It's worth noting that this inspection occurred during a transitional period for rodent control requirements in NYC, which was undergoing changes to its enforcement practices. The building's relatively recent bedbug reporting compliance and improved pest management can be seen as positive developments, though the property's historical record shows it has faced challenges with meeting all regulatory requirements in a timely manner.
