1350 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1350 East 18th Street is a 43-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Midwood, built in 1925 and currently owned by Albert Srour. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water in 2025, with multiple reports between March and May indicating problems affecting the entire building, though these were generally resolved upon inspection or through subsequent follow-up. More recent complaints from May 2025 involve water leak and wall damage issues for which violations were issued.

The building has a documented history of safety concerns, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024 related to self-closing doors in multiple locations (A2, A4, D3, public hall) and an electrical service issue in apartment A2. A series of complaints regarding unauthorized conversions and illegal hotel rooms in 2018-2019 were also recorded, though inspections either found no violations or access could not be obtained. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple violations over the years.

Notably, between 2019 and 2024, there were several complaints about unauthorized units, with multiple failed inspection attempts. In terms of pest control, there was a significant bedbug infestation in 2019-2020 (9 units affected), but subsequent annual reports from 2020-2024 show zero infestations. Most recently, in 2024, there have been multiple inspections showing rat activity, suggesting ongoing rodent control challenges. The building's maintenance record shows regular violations and complaints requiring attention, with the most pressing current issues being the recent water leak and wall damage problems, along with the building-wide heat and hot water services that appear to be an ongoing challenge.
