207A 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

207A 18th Street in Sunset Park is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Kitty Suen-spennato. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Most notably, in October 2018, multiple complaints were filed regarding both heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, along with issues related to cooking gas.

These led to emergency HPD inspections and the issuance of violations. While there was a subsequent isolated heat and hot water complaint in November 2019, records indicate these issues were resolved. More recent concerns center around compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating this remains an ongoing compliance issue.

The building also experienced specific violations in October 2018 related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 3 on the second story, as well as issues with gas supply to kitchen fixtures in the same apartment. Two rodent inspections conducted in 2018 (June and December) both passed, suggesting no significant pest control issues at that time. The property's relatively high number of violations and repeated service requests regarding basic utilities like heat and hot water, along with the ongoing bedbug reporting non-compliance, suggest persistent challenges in building maintenance and compliance. However, it's worth noting that many of these violations and complaints date back several years, and there are no recent complaints on record regarding heat or hot water issues.
