1580 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1580 East 18th Street is a 6-story, 70-unit residential building in Midwood, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Thelma Brand. The property has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues in recent years, with five separate complaints between November 2023 and February 2025 reporting chemical vapors, gases, or odors, though these complaints have been addressed with advisories to the management.

The building faced significant heating system challenges during late 2019 through early 2020, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these issues were generally resolved within a few days of reporting. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system-related problems, including a 2022 violation regarding condensate pipe issues and other boiler-related concerns that incurred a penalty of $312. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in late 2019 regarding heating system access and hot water availability in specific apartments (2C and 5C).

Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings since 2019. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection in January 2025 found no violations, and a 2024 compliance inspection also resulted in no violations. Multiple safety-related violations from 2004-2005 were properly closed, including issues with heating system access and hot water provision.
