1362 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The residential building at 1362 East 18th Street in Midwood is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931 and owned by Yiao Lin. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2022 and 2023, when multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages in the entire building were reported and subsequently addressed.

The building currently has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (2023-2024), a safety violation regarding household items in public hallways (2022), and multiple violations from May 2022 concerning unit 1R's plumbing and door issues, as well as concerning unit 2F's door conditions. There were also complaints in 2022 regarding carbon monoxide detectors that required inspection but resulted in no violations.

More recently, there have been concerns about unauthorized animals on the property, with a closed complaint about a rooster (June 2024) and an ongoing investigation into a farm animal complaint (July 2024). The building's systems were inspected for various issues, including an electrical wiring complaint in 2021 where the inspector was unable to gain access. While the property underwent thorough inspections for rodent issues in 2019 and had no bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2021, the building has experienced recurrent maintenance issues that suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and compliance requirements.
