Summary · as of November 10, 2026
5404 18th Avenue (Brooklyn, NY 11204; tax lot BBL 3054860037) is a one-family home (building class A5: one-family home, attached or semi-detached), built around 1925, on a 1,666 sq ft lot zoned R5. City tax records list the owner as 5404 18TH AVENUE TRUST; per ACRIS, a deed to this owner dated January 1, 2021 lists a price of $10. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,194,000. As of November 10, 2026 (limited by DOB Job Application Filings (BIS); other open-item sources were confirmed later), NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show four OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.
