323 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 323 18th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Thuan Vu, has experienced several notable events over the past few years, particularly during 2021. The most significant cluster of issues arose between July and December 2021, when four separate complaints were filed regarding illegal or unpermitted plumbing work, including concerns about sprinkler and standpipe systems.

Three of these complaints resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access to the property despite multiple attempts, while one complaint was found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection in September 2021. Additionally, a gas utility referral complaint was filed in July 2021 under similar access circumstances.

More positively, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management success, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the dwelling units. This pattern of effective pest control has been maintained consistently since 2019, with all ten annual filings reporting no bedbug activity. The building's most recent documented issues are now over two years old, and there have been no new complaints or violations recorded since the last plumbing complaint in December 2021, suggesting an improvement in property management and maintenance practices.
