718 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
718 Washington Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Shamsey Oloko, located in Prospect Heights. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services, including multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between 2023-2024, with several emergency complaints filed through HPD.
The most recent service issue was a water supply complaint in February 2025, though inspectors found no housing law violations during their investigation. The property has faced persistent sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage violations in 2024, and more concerning rodent activity evidenced by failed inspections throughout 2023-2025, including reports of rat activity followed by bait applications.
The building currently has several open violations that require attention, including fire escape access obstructions, issues with garbage/recycling storage, and various housing maintenance code violations noted in 2023 affecting Apartment 4, including problems with windows, plaster surfaces, ceiling fixtures, and water leaks. The property has undergone multiple inspections for these violations, with some resulting in no violations being issued while others demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges. A notable environmental control board violation from 2021 regarding inadequate laundromat exhaust ventilation was resolved with a penalty imposed, and there appears to be a pattern of compliance issues with the building's maintenance requirements, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, which have been a recurring source of tenant complaints.
