18 Marconi Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 18 Marconi Place is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1899, currently owned by Franklin Patterson. The building has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, as evidenced by a cluster of complaints filed on May 28, 2025, all of which were closed following investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints resulted in several violations that require the owner to address various issues, including problems with doors/windows, flooring, safety concerns related to window guards, pest-related issues, and a malfunctioning bell/intercom system.

Additionally, there were complaints about cooking gas and electrical wiring that were found not to violate HPD housing laws, as well as a water leak/damp spot issue that differed in resolution outcomes. The building has a documented history of routine inspections and violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Between 2021 and 2024, multiple violations were issued for not filing the annual bedbug report, though the most recent 2024-2025 report indicates no infested units during the previous reporting period.

A significant structural maintenance issue was noted in 2022 regarding a defective self-closing door at the front entrance, and there have been recurring pest-related concerns, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2022 showing signs of infestation. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations, the concentration of recent complaints suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges. The property also has periodic requirements for bedbug inspections and reporting that have generated multiple violations in recent years, though the most recent reports show no current infestations.
