1392 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 1392 East 18th Street in Midwood, owned by Lili Kakoli, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2007. Most notably, in 2023, Unit 3F encountered multiple problems including mold growth in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, defective smoke detector issues, and problems with plastered surfaces that required violations to be issued. The building also faced plumbing-related emergencies in late 2024, including water supply and boiler issues, along with a safety concern regarding carbon monoxide detection.

A more recent door-related complaint from March 2025 resulted in an HPD inspection attempt that could not be completed due to access issues. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests between 2023 and 2025, including multiple reports of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage and hallway maintenance. Violations have been documented for mold remediation needs, wall repairs, and other maintenance concerns, particularly affecting common areas and Unit 3F.

Interestingly, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting successful management of this particular issue. A rodent inspection conducted in December 2019 resulted in a passing grade, though it's worth noting this is now several years old. While many of the earlier complaints from 2023 were resolved through inspections, there are indications of recurring issues, particularly regarding doors/windows, with multiple safety and maintenance concerns addressed through HPD interventions.
