2024 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-story, three-unit building at 2024 East 18th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Ruth Wapnick, has an extensive history of maintenance issues dating back to 2019. Three significant safety violations were recorded in January 2019, involving missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though one door-related complaint was resolved without violations.

These safety concerns were classified as emergency situations. More recently, the building has been cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports for multiple years between 2021 and 2024, representing ongoing compliance issues. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2R, where multiple violations were recorded in January 2019 related to deteriorated plaster surfaces and paint conditions in several rooms, as well as missing safety equipment including a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector.

Apartment 2FLR had plumbing issues in 2018 that required attention to a defective kitchen sink waste line. While the building underwent rodent inspections in 2009 and 2014 that passed without issues, the recurring nature of both safety violations and bedbug report non-compliance over multiple years suggests persistent maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges. The most recent violations of note, as of 2024, are primarily administrative in nature related to bedbug reporting requirements, though significant safety violations had previously occurred in 2019.
