1305 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 6-story, 41-unit residential building at 1305 East 18th Street in Midwood, owned by David Blau, has experienced a series of ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in recent months. From March to May 2025 alone, there were multiple HPD complaints and violations involving plumbing issues (including sink problems and water supply concerns), windowpane defects, intercom system failures, and pest control needs. The building has also faced persistent elevator service issues, with multiple complaints between 2023-2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service", and several boiler-related complaints between 2023-2024.
Significant violations were documented in late 2024, including a roach infestation in apartment 6E that remains open as of the last inspection. Historical records reveal a pattern of maintenance problems, with notable environmental control board violations in 2023-2024 related to elevator and boiler equipment, including defective door lock monitors and hoistway door concerns. The building has undergone various inspections showing inconsistent results, particularly regarding rodent inspections which have generally failed since 2017.
While there have been periods of compliance and the correction of many violations, such as those related to construction debris and storage from 2019, the current pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has maintained a record of zero confirmed bedbug infestations since 2020, though pest control remains an ongoing concern as evidenced by recent HPD complaints. Recent building improvements and responses to violations appear to be ongoing, with various HPD inspections resulting in violation issuances that the owner is required to address. The building's long history of varied inspection results, from successful passing inspections in earlier years to recent increased complaint activity, indicates an evolving maintenance pattern that has shifted considerably in recent times.
