Augrented Insights Report for 1280 East 18th Street

The 48-unit, 6-story residential building at 1280 East 18th Street in Midwood, owned by Sol Knopf, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water outages in May 2025, with multiple complaints filed between May 10-24 that required HPD intervention, though heating and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections. The building has also faced persistent elevator problems, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service from late 2023 through mid-2025.

Recent elevator-related violations include issues with emergency phone operation, brake adjustments, and safety compliance, with one active violation from 2020 regarding rear ventilation damage. The property has documented rodent inspection failures in 2024-2025, though there were some successful inspections as well. Recent health concerns include inspections for unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pigeon waste in June 2025.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2023 to early 2024 indicate various maintenance issues in apartment 6F, including inadequate water supply, pest infestation, and issues with smoke detectors and water temperature. The building has a mixed record of addressing violations, with some being certified as corrected while others remain open or were dismissed upon inspection. The property has also undergone regular bedbug reporting, showing occasional infestations with successful eradication, most recently in 2025. Recent rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with some passing and some failing due to unspecified reasons.
