2669 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The 3-story, 2-unit residential building at 2669 East 18th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Melba Villafane and constructed in 1930, is currently facing multiple maintenance issues that require attention. Most notably, the building has received several recent complaints in late 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions, including multiple pest-related issues, along with concerns about doors, windows, and flooring.

These complaints, while initially uninspectable by HPD, led to subsequent inspections in November 2024 which resulted in multiple open violations for Apartment 3E, including necessary repairs for broken windows, door issues, pest infestations (including mice and roaches), damaged floors, and paint/plaster concerns. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection.

Despite these current issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. The property has a history of being responsive to housing code complaints, with inspections generally taking place within a reasonable timeframe, though some recent complaints required multiple service requests for proper inspection. The most pressing current concerns involve the combination of pest problems and building maintenance issues documented through both 311 complaints and HPD inspections, particularly in Apartment 3E, where multiple violations have been officially recorded as needing correction.
