8872 18th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family house at 8872 18th Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Minh Duong, has a complex maintenance history since 2011. In 2019, the building experienced significant issues across multiple systems, with eight inspection requests in May 2019 alone, including complaints about pests, mold, sewage, electrical outlets, flooring, and ceiling conditions. Notable violations were documented in April 2019 for the first-floor apartment, including problems with the bathroom washbasin, bathtub, and kitchen ceiling involving water leaks and plaster issues.

A serious boiler safety violation was recorded in March 2019 regarding a gas regulator venting issue, though this was later resolved by May 2019. The Department of Buildings received multiple complaints in 2019 regarding potential illegal conversions and excessive debris, though inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple occasions to verify these concerns. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of passed and failed inspections for rodent control between 2011 and 2018, with the most recent inspections in 2016-2018 showing generally satisfactory results.

While many of the 2019 violations were eventually closed, including various electrical, plumbing, and sanitary issues, the recommendation from HPD to file new complaints if problems persisted remains notable. The front yard and entrance maintenance became a recurring issue in 2019, with multiple violations for refuse accumulation. More recent data beyond 2019 is not available in the current records, making it difficult to assess the building's current condition or any improvements made since the significant number of complaints and violations recorded in 2019.
