287 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 25-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 287 East 18th Street in Flatbush, built in 1910 and currently owned by 287 East 18th Street Owner LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are ongoing concerns regarding lead dust in common areas and apartments as of May 2025, and multiple water-related problems, including slow and heavy leaks for which violations were issued in June 2025. The building has also faced recurring issues with interior maintenance, including paint/plaster problems affecting walls, ceilings, and flooring noted in multiple complaints between March and May 2025.
Safety concerns have been documented, including a broken window guard in June 2025, though an HPD inspection found no housing law violations related to this complaint. The building's history reveals several serious infrastructure and safety issues, particularly relating to its elevator system and structural components. In 2023, violations were issued regarding emergency phone systems and lighting in the elevator, with a penalty of $1,562.00. Previous violations from 2021-2022 indicated problems with building walls, including detached masonry concrete pillars and coping stone sections from the decorative balcony on the fourth floor.
The building has experienced elevator service issues, with complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service documented in both 2019 and 2023. The property has also faced scrutiny for potential illegal activities, construction work, and building stability concerns in previous years, though most recent inspections have shown improved conditions. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate some infestation issues, the most recent report from December 2024 shows no affected units. The building has passed recent rodent inspections in July 2025, though there were noted rat activity issues in 2018-2019.
