7502 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 4-story, 10-unit building at 7502 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Domenico Ventura and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with food safety and compliance in recent years. The most recent complaints in 2025 involved food establishment violations including foreign objects in food, with similar issues noted throughout 2023-2024 involving food contamination and worker hygiene. The building has also faced challenges regarding smoking policy enforcement in early 2025.

Between 2022-2024, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring annual bedbug reporting, though subsequent filings in 2022 and 2024 indicated no infestations, with these issues marked as closed. Emergency heating and hot water complaints were filed and resolved promptly in late 2019 and early 2022. Recent Department of Buildings activity includes several complaints regarding illegal signage between 2021 and 2024, with one complaint still remaining active as of late 2024. A permit for unknown work was issued in December 2020.

The building has demonstrated proactive response to some issues, with the Department of Health closing most complaints after inspections, though several service requests were administratively closed without specific resolution details. The property maintains a relatively stable bedbug record since 2022, with reports indicating zero affected units. While food safety and smoking compliance remain recurring concerns, the building's most significant issues appear to be related to commercial space operations rather than residential unit conditions, with no recorded complaints about unit-specific issues since 2019. The building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to emergency heating and hot water issues when they arise, though these problems occurred during colder months.
