18 Rockaway Avenue
Open in Google Street View ↗
- City records show 6 open HPD violations at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2002 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Provide adequate lighting at or near the outside of the front entranceway of the building….
18 Rockaway Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11233. The closest subway is Chauncey St (J,Z) (2-minute walk), served by the J and Z lines.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: June 2002 · Most recent: May 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
