579 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 579 18th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Frank Francia, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years.
Most notably, from 2020 through 2024, the building faced recurring violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent report filed in May 2025 showed no current bedbug issues, with no infested or re-infested units reported. More concerning are two open violations from 2020 regarding lead-based paint hazards, including failure to notify occupants and to provide required records related to lead paint inspections and remediation under Local Law 1 of 2004; these violations have remained unresolved for over three years.
On a positive note, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in January 2016, indicating no current issues with this pest. While some maintenance issues have been addressed over time, the persistence of the lead paint violations and the pattern of bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance compliance.
