3841 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
3841 18th Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and owned by David Malek, currently contains 53 residential units in the Kensington neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding water-related problems, including heavy flow water leaks (June 2025), slow leaks (June 2025), and plumbing issues affecting water supply (February 2025). There have also been recurring concerns about heat and hot water, with several complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, though some of these were resolved upon inspection.
The property has shown some recent pest issues, with a June 2025 complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests resulting in violations being issued to the owner. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple violations related to basic systems and infrastructure, including self-closing door failures, window and wall paint issues, and heating system problems. Notable violations include a December 2024 citation for inadequate heat supply in Apt 1A and multiple violations regarding temperature reporting devices in Apts 2J and 3I.
The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2025, though these have generally been addressed in compliance inspections. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free certification since 2019, recent rodent inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity. The property has also undergone several Department of Buildings inspections with varying results, including citations for work without proper permits in 2018 and 2021, though these violations were eventually resolved.
