7524 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 7524 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Wing Lay New York Realty Inc and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing regulatory compliance matters. Most concerning is a recent building stability complaint from April 2024 regarding structural vibrations, though the inspection found no major structural issues, only documenting damage to the steel roll-down gate from vehicle impact.

The building has been subject to recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four successive housing maintenance code violations issued for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports. However, the most recent bedbug report filing from November 2024 shows no infested units, indicating successful eradication efforts during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. Additionally, there is currently an unresolved food poisoning complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in October 2019 that remains in progress.

The building's history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with the property finally achieving compliance in November 2024 through proper reporting of zero infested units. While the recent building shaking/vibrating complaint raised concerns, it was quickly addressed by the Department of Buildings with a determination that no structural issues were present, though an active violation remains regarding the gate damage. The combination of these factors suggests ongoing management oversight, though some health and safety matters have required multiple interventions before achieving resolution.
