18 Jewel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 18 Jewel Street in Greenpoint, owned by Jan Gut and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident comfort and safety over the past several years. Most significantly, in November 2018, the entire building experienced a heat and hot water outage that required intervention from both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and Housing Maintenance Code enforcement, though these services were reportedly restored within a couple of days.

Currently, as of April 2024, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though it's worth noting that the building's official bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2023 consistently show zero infested dwelling units and successful eradication, indicating effective management of this pest issue over the years. The building's rodent inspection record shows a consistent pattern of passing results from 2016 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in January 2024 and January 2025 indicating no significant rodent issues.

The property has maintained a good track record in this area, with all inspections being classified as "Initial" and passing without noted violations. While the 2018 heat and hot water outage represents the most significant resident comfort issue on record, the relatively low number of complaints and consistent rodent inspection passes suggest stable building maintenance overall.
