3721 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

At 3721 18th Avenue in Kensington, a three-unit, three-story building owned by Poc Management Inc. has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past several years, with a particularly notable pattern of rodent-related complaints. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple rat sightings reported through the 311 service, with the most recent complaints recorded in November 2024.

While building inspections have generally resulted in "Passed" status, with the exception of reported rat activity in 2022, an ongoing concern is evidenced by multiple open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024. The building has also faced various maintenance and compliance issues that require attention. In 2020, there were violations related to mold conditions in the first-floor apartment's bathroom ceiling and problems with self-closing doors, both of which remain open.

Previous complaints dating back to 2019-2020 indicate problems with wall paint/plaster conditions. The property has a history of zoning violations, including past illegal commercial vehicle storage and use in a residential zone, though these were resolved by 2020. The building's age (built in 1915) and hereto converted Class A status suggest it has undergone previous conversions from a different use class. While recent rodent inspections in 2024 have shown improvements with "Passed" results, the recurring nature of pest-related complaints and open violations indicates ongoing management challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
