1568 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, three-unit building at 1568 East 18th Street in Midwood, owned by Yosef Rosen, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest control problems, with HPD receiving two separate complaints in 2024 (July and October) regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspections could not be completed in either case.

The building has experienced multiple violations related to unauthorized construction work, particularly during 2024, with eight separate complaints between August and November 2024 regarding work without permits or contrary to stop work orders. These incidents resulted in various enforcement actions, including partial stop work orders and building violations for failure to obey stop work orders. Earlier concerns included a gas-related complaint in October 2023 where access was not granted for inspection purposes.

Historical records from 2021 show no bedbug activity during the 2019-2020 reporting period, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. While most complaints to the Department of Buildings from 2024 were ultimately closed without violations being substantiated at the time of inspection, they indicate a pattern of potential safety and compliance issues. The building's classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" suggests it has undergone a prior conversion from its original use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
