1718 Avenue V, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1718 Avenue V is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Salem Abdallah, located in Sheepshead Bay. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in late 2023 alone - two in November (one for the entire building and one for an individual apartment) - though in most cases, tenants reported that services were restored by the time officials arrived for inspection.

A concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints can also be traced back to 2018, indicating an ongoing maintenance issue with the building's heating system. The property has faced several notable violations regarding building safety and maintenance. A significant cluster of violations was documented in July 2019 for apartment 2R, including problems with water leakage, missing smoke detectors, defective window guards, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and unauthorized alterations to the bathroom ceiling.

While these violations were all eventually closed (most by August 2019), they raised serious concerns about the unit's safety features at that time. More recently, in 2023, the building had an external low-pressure inspection violation, though this was dismissed later that year. The building management has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with the most recent annual report for 2024 showing no reported infestations or eradications during the specified period, though violations related to bedbug reporting requirements appeared in 2021-2024 inspections of the property.
