5902 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

5902 18th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, located in Borough Park and currently owned by Felice Tornabene. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most pressing issue being an active ECB violation from March 2024 for unauthorized facade work requiring a $2,500 penalty.

In March 2024, there were also complaints regarding falling debris and work conducted without proper permits, though the latter inspection concluded with no violations found at that time. The building has maintained an annual bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the units during the documented periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022), though multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued between 2021-2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report. A complaint was filed in 2022 regarding vaccine mandate non-compliance, though this was promptly addressed and closed within one day.

The property has shown a pattern of construction-related issues, with a notable complaint in 2019 regarding work beyond approved plans; however, access was not granted to the inspector during that inspection attempt. The building's age and classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements, which appear to have been intermittently complied with, as evidenced by the multiple bedbug report violations. The most recent significant events have centered around construction work and related violations, while the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, despite the issues with timely reporting compliance.
