463 Eldert Lane, Brooklyn, NY 11208

463 Eldert Lane is a two-story, 3-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by the Sookra Ir Irvocable Trust. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2023, with multiple complaints regarding pests, plumbing problems, and heating concerns. Most notably, between June and July 2023 alone, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, specifically related to pests, water leaks, and plumbing issues, though inspections typically found no violations.

The building has also faced significant regulatory scrutiny, with three illegal conversion complaints filed in 2023, all resulting in inspectors being unable to gain access during second final attempts. These complaints were followed by Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations issued in February 2023 regarding unauthorized occupancy modifications, including unlawful gas range and kitchen sink installations, for which a penalty of $620 was imposed and resolved. Earlier records from 2021-2022 indicate persistent issues in apartment 2, including heating and hot water problems, pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches), and a defective carbon monoxide detector, all of which have been closed.

The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and regulatory compliance, though many recent complaints have been resolved without violations being found. Historical records from 2012 show the property passed rodent inspections at that time, but more recent pest-related complaints indicate this may no longer be the case. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, it's important to note that most recent HPD inspections have not found specific violations warranting penalties, though many complaints resulted from inability to gain access for inspection.
