6823 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204
The 39-unit, 4-story building at 6823 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Gennaro Ruggiero, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of water-related problems, including slow leaks and damp spots, as well as issues with flooring and ceiling conditions.
In March 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartment B6, including problems with water leaks, ceiling damage, and missing or defective window guards, though some of these violations were subsequently marked as closed in May 2024. The building has also faced challenges with its public spaces, particularly in 2024 when violations were issued regarding fire safety and maintenance of common areas, including broken fire-retardant plaster and peeling paint requirements. The property has a history of addressing pest control issues, as demonstrated by successful inspections showing no active infestations in recent bedbug reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, and the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed without issues.
Historical complaints and violations from 2019-2021 indicate past concerns with fire escape pathways being obstructed by window air conditioning units, and multiple Department of Buildings violations regarding maintenance and permit compliance requirements during renovation work. While some issues have been resolved promptly, others, particularly those involving water and building envelope conditions, appear to be recurring challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it may require ongoing maintenance to meet current housing standards.
