7918 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 7918 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Adil Khan and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance issues recently, particularly in late 2023. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in December 2023, followed by multiple violations identified during inspections on December 13, 2023.

These violations included problems with building safety systems such as a locked heating system access door, a broken ceiling light fixture, and multiple issues in the first-floor apartment (1F) involving hot water supply, mold in the bathroom, leaking kitchen faucets, and a self-closing door malfunction. The building also received multiple violation notices related to improper documentation and posting requirements regarding emergency procedures and contact information in common areas. As of April 2024, one significant violation remained open regarding the repair or replacement of a defective ceiling light fixture in the first-story public hall.

It's worth noting that while the building has had consistent bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2025, showing zero infestation cases in all reporting periods, the most recent inspection in December 2023 revealed various maintenance issues that warrant attention. The building's rodent inspection from November 2011 was passed, indicating no rodent issues at that time. The current status of multiple open violations as of 2023-2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding heating systems, water supply, and general building maintenance.
