918 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

918 East 15th Street in Midwood is a 20-unit, four-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Felipe Orner. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in April and May, though these were generally resolved quickly. There are notable ongoing safety concerns, including an active Class C violation from November 2024 regarding a roach infestation in apartment 2D, and previously documented issues with mice infestation in the same unit.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints in March 2025 regarding plumbing, door/window issues, and problems with walls, refrigeration appliances, and unsanitary conditions, though inspections typically did not find violations. The property has a history of violations and complaints spanning several years. In late 2024, several violations were documented in apartment 2D, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and a leaking roof.

Earlier complaints from 2020 showed concerns about stairway encumbrances and illegal plumbing work, while 2018 inspections revealed problems with fire escape access. The building's systems have undergone scrutiny from both the Department of Buildings and environmental control boards, with some violations being resolved and others remaining active. While there have been periodic pest control issues, including bedbugs reported between 2019-2021, recent filings from 2021 onwards show no current infestations. The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 yielded mixed results, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons, though the compliance inspection passed.
