Augrented Insights Report for 18 Woodruff Avenue

18 Woodruff Avenue, a 161-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1955 in Flatbush and currently owned by 18-30 Realty Co LLC, has experienced persistent infrastructure and maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints in 2023 and 2024 specifically mentioning problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Electrical concerns have also been significant, with wiring issues reported in 2023-2024 that resulted in emergency complaints. The building has undergone several rodent control measures, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing varying levels of activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have indicated improvement. The property has faced multiple building system failures requiring attention, including an elevator incident in 2022 where the door zone restrictor malfunctioned, leading to a $1,250 penalty, and historical elevator service issues documented through complaints from 2019-2022.

Several apartment-specific maintenance issues have been documented, particularly concerning Unit 4G, which had violations for defective self-closing doors and kitchen cabinet issues in 2024. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, showing zero infestation cases reported through 2019-2023. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 indicate some positive developments, such as a rodent inspection in January 2025 passing, though there are still outstanding concerns regarding building systems and maintenance responsiveness, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspection access denial issues throughout 2024-2025.
