There are over 100 open violations on this building! The address is 145 E 18th according to the link when you click on "Century 21" on the trulia listing E 18 St Brooklyn, NY 11226 - Real Estate | CENTURY 21

The way you find violations is to login to propertyshark.com and use your ONE free viewing per day to see that address. Don't screw up when you type in the address because it won't let you see another one til the next day.

Summary: do not walk, RUN from this building. Also you need to seriously educate yourself about the difference between coops and condos. A coop in poor financial health can mean a huge difference in price from a building next door that is in good financial health.

My advice for now: keep renting!

P.S. there are ways to look up various other kinds of info on the City's site. Try ACRIS and DOB.

Not a chance. That area would be the last to gentrify.

It's too good to be true and it isn't technically PPS or Ditmas Park either.

thanks to everyone who posted - Through this posting I did learn the diff between co-op and condos - I am grateful to everyone who posted their advice- I am currently living in an owned home, so moving into a building festooned with bed bugs/mice and roaches such as this building is would be a HUGE disappointment/dip in standards of living - Will keep looking and definitely keep saving.

Thanks to the poster who tipped me off about looking into violations - knew that was possible, forgot to do it,
