18 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249

18 Broadway is a 7-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Benjamin Flores. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being heating and water supply problems reported in November 2023 that required emergency interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. This building has a notable history of elevator and facade maintenance violations, including a 2020 citation for missing door lock monitoring and various facade-related issues between 2018-2020 that resulted in monetary penalties.

More recent violations from 2023 indicate failure to file required external low-pressure and energy benchmarking reports, though these appear to have been addressed by August 2024. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021 showing zero infestations, there was a concerning period from 2019-2020 where multiple violations were issued for failure to submit required building inspections and reports, including critical facade examinations and boiler inspections. The property's recent inspection history shows some pattern of compliance with emergency repairs, though active violations as of 2023 for pending external inspections suggest ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.

Previous violations related to food safety (2019-2020), though now closed, indicate historical compliance issues with building services. The building's permit history shows proper documentation for work performed, with the most recent permit issuance recorded in November 2019. Overall, while the building has no current bedbug issues and has addressed many past violations, the recurring nature of heating, water supply, and inspection compliance issues suggests periodic maintenance challenges that require ongoing monitoring.
