AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, 16-unit residential building at 317 Elton Street in East New York, owned by Greencedar Management and constructed in 1998, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a concerning period of heat and hot water outages in January 2025, with multiple complaints recorded, though service was reportedly restored during inspections. More recent complaints from March 2025 include issues with unsanitary garbage storage and rodent sightings, with the latter warranting follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has an ongoing rat control program, with bait applied as recently as July 2025, following documented rodent activity in April and May 2025.

The property has faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 4A, where multiple open violations from April 2024 relate to water leaks affecting ceilings and walls, as well as electrical issues. Apartment 4B has open violations from October 2023 requiring repainting of various rooms and bathrooms to meet code specifications. Other historical issues include water leak problems documented in December 2023 and April 2024, and a period of bedbug infestation affecting two units in 2019, though subsequent annual inspections from 2020 through 2024 show no further infestations. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with passed inspections in 2012 and 2021, but failures recorded in 2021, and ongoing monitoring in 2023-2025 indicating persistent rodent activity.

The property has demonstrated a recurring pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, water infrastructure, and pest control, with the most recent issues centering on rodent activity and sanitation concerns. While some violations and complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, several significant issues remain open as of mid-2025, particularly regarding water damage and required maintenance in specific apartments.
