1530 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
1530 East 18th Street is a 6-story, 55-unit residential building in Midwood, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Esther Sokolowski. The building has experienced significant and persistent heating issues since late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints through 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These issues have resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including open citations for inadequate hot water in apartments 6B and 6H, as well as multiple violations related to heating system access and self-closing doors. The property has also faced elevator safety concerns, particularly in 2022, with multiple complaints about single device operation and emergency service outages, leading to Environmental Control Board violations for tampered door zone restrictors and service restoration failures, though these violations have since been resolved.
Additional violations were documented in 2024 related to apartment 6G, including issues with leaks, plaster surfaces, and a missing smoke detector. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations (with zero reported cases since 2020) and passed all rodent inspections from 2011 through 2017. While several Building Department violations regarding Elevator Equipment Room (EER) submissions were documented between 2018 and 2021, these were dismissed in 2024.
