318 Ditmas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

318 Ditmas Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Kohava Cohen, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years that warrant attention. Most notably, in early 2025, the building faced multiple concurrent safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, electrical outlets, plumbing (water supply), and pest control, along with a water leak issue.

All these complaints resulted in violations requiring correction, though one plumbing issue and an electric/gas range complaint from 2024 were found not to violate housing laws. The building has also had two failed inspections regarding an illegal conversion complaint in 2024 and 2025, though no violations were found during a separate after-hours work complaint investigation in September 2023.

Looking at historical data, the building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports between 2021-2025 with zero infested units recorded in each annual filing period, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in 2017. While the building's recent history shows multiple safety and maintenance issues requiring attention, it's worth noting that most of these have been identified through proper channels and are in the process of being addressed according to housing law requirements. The property has also complied with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting no infestations since 2021, and has maintained a valid Certificate of No Harassment status since 2019, most recently renewed in 2024.
