42 Elton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The 42 Elton Street property is a three-story, two-family house located in Cypress Hills, built in 1920 and currently owned by Xiaomao Wang. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern in 2025 when multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests) and a water leak (damp spot) were filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
A significant cluster of complaints in October 2022 highlighted various problems in Apartment 1, including violations for heat/hot water issues (Class C violations) and a rodent infestation (Class B violation), though not all resulted in penalties. The heat/hot water violations were particularly serious, involving both scalding hot water and inadequate heating conditions, while the rodent issue specifically documented the presence of mice. The building's history reveals similar concerns dating back to 2020-2021, when an illegal parking violation was recorded and addressed through the Environmental Control Board, though this resulted in no penalties.
Earlier records show a passed rodent inspection in 2012, suggesting this has been an ongoing maintenance challenge. While the building's management has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices, many recent inspections have been complicated by access issues, with inspectors unable to verify current conditions in 2025 for complaints regarding pests and dampness. The property has experienced repeated issues with hygiene and maintenance, particularly regarding pest management, water systems, and heating infrastructure, though some violations from 2022 were certified as corrected.
