597 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The two-story, four-unit residential building at 597 18th Street in Windsor Terrace, currently owned by Philip Lee, has experienced several recurring maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most notably, the property has been consistently out of compliance with New York City Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, with all four violations remaining open as of 2025.
While there have been rodent-related incidents, inspections have generally shown improvement - the most recent February 2025 inspection passed, following previous detections of rat activity in May 2024. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a rodent complaint from April 2024 and found violations, though a more recent complaint about an unsanitary animal in February 2025 resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. Recent maintenance issues have included a boiler complaint in February 2025, which was investigated and found to have no warranted violations.
Of note, the building's records show consistent attention to pest and rodent control, with multiple inspections taking place over the past few years, including a Compliance inspection that passed in 2024. A construction-related permit was issued in December 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records. The documented history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control and rodent management, though there remain open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements through 2024.
