218 Middleton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

218 Middleton Street is a 6-story, 18-unit Class A residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by 218 Middleton Realty LLC. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in March 2022.

During this inspection, multiple violations were documented, including window guard deficiencies (4 missing or defective guards in apartment 4B), self-closing door issues (in apartments 4C and 5B), and various public hall concerns such as encumbrances in the 2nd and 3rd story halls, the need for ceiling painting, and required stair floor signage. The building's maintenance history shows some persistent issues, including a 2019 elevator violation related to uncorrected defects from a 2017 inspection that remains active as of October 2023.

Other documented concerns include a 2021 plumbing issue with a toilet that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation. The property has also demonstrated prompt attention to violations that were issued, as evidenced by their dismissal based on subsequent reports showing corrections, with most violations from 2019-2021 resolved by late 2022.
