207 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

At 207 18th Street in Sunset Park, an 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building built in 1920, there have been persistent concerns regarding building maintenance and sanitation in recent years. Most notably, from June 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage issues and door problems, though inspections found no housing violations in these cases. The building has experienced recurring sanitation challenges, as evidenced by seven distinct reports in 2025, four in June 2024, and violations issued in March 2024 related to garbage accumulation and storage conditions.

A significant rodent problem was noted in 2024, with an open Class C violation remaining as of June 2024, though initial inspections had passed. Earlier issues included plumbing concerns (December 2022), window/frame violations (December 2022), and various maintenance problems in Apartment 8 including broken tiles and window issues (2023). The building's history shows both routine maintenance efforts and some alarming incidents.

In 2019, complaints were filed regarding construction stability concerns and illegal after-hours work, though inspections found no violations. Between 2021 and 2023, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, indicating successful pest management in that regard. Recent inspections have shown some improvements, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple permits between 2018-2024 for various maintenance work, though the recurring nature of sanitation complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building management and maintenance. The property has generally passed rodent inspections conducted in 2018 and 2024, indicating some level of pest control compliance.
