218 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 23-unit, 4-story building at 218 25th Street in Sunset Park, owned by David Rose and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2023 and 2025, there have been recurring problems with building access for inspections, particularly regarding intercom system functionality, with multiple HPD inspections unable to gain access in April 2025.

The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks in late 2023 and early 2024, though not all resulted in violations. In 2024, violations were issued for apartment 403A concerning carbon monoxide detectors, water leak repairs, plastered surfaces, and unauthorized alterations, though these were certified as corrected by May 2024. Earlier history shows persistent challenges with building systems and compliance matters, including a December 2022 ECB violation related to boiler and burner issues with active penalties totaling $940.

There were multiple attempts to investigate potential illegal conversions and construction violations in late 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access. The building has maintained an active bedbug treatment record showing no infestations since 2018, and while there have been rodent inspections indicating some problems in 2009 and 2020, the most recent inspection in 2020 showed only general compliance issues rather than specific rodent activity. The building's recent service history (2023-2025) shows regular interactions with HPD regarding various maintenance issues, though many complaints were resolved with inspections either confirming no violations or with the issues reportedly corrected.
