43 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 43 Eldert Street in Bushwick, owned by Vito Citrano and built in 1920, has experienced persistent pest control and maintenance issues over recent years.
Most notably, there is a recurring rodent problem, with rat activity documented in inspections as recently as June 2025, following previous rat sightings in 2023 and 2024, despite some periods of passing inspections. The building's maintenance record shows several significant violations, including four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 to 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and multiple Electrical Wiring complaints and violations between 2020 and 2021.
Two active Environmental Control Board violations remain, one from 2021 regarding failure to comply with commissioner's orders with a $2,500 penalty, and another from 2020 concerning defective electrical outlets in the kitchen and bedroom with a $1,600 penalty. While the building has periodically passed rodent inspections, the overall pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges.
