628 Eldert Lane, Brooklyn, NY 11208

628 Eldert Lane is a 6-story, 64-unit residential building constructed in 2015 in East New York, currently owned by Belmont Gardens LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating issues in April 2025, with multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. While these issues were generally resolved quickly, they indicate potential ongoing maintenance challenges.

Recent housing maintenance violations include problems in apartments 6K (roof leaks, plaster/paint issues) and 5H (water damage and mold), as well as documented pest infestations in multiple units (notably roaches in 5H and 6G between late 2024 and early 2025). The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about defective devices between 2019 and 2025, including an active complaint as of February 2025 regarding multiple devices on property. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections over the years, with some environmental issues still pending resolution. Currently, there is an active ECB violation from August 2024 regarding discolored water from the hot water system in Apartment 5A, with a $500 penalty.

The building has shown a generally low incidence of bedbug infestations, though one case was reported in 2019. Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with passed inspections in 2012, 2016, and 2025, but confirmed rat activity in 2019. Recent maintenance requests also included concerns about trash management and general cleanliness, though these were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The building's relatively recent construction date (2015) suggests that many systems are still within their expected operational lifespans, though the pattern of complaints indicates some persistent maintenance challenges that have required tenant intervention to address.
