864 Elton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

864 Elton Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in East New York, built in 1950 and currently owned by Avi Dishi. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years, with multiple reports of water leaks, pest infestations, and heating problems. Notably, in early 2023, there were multiple emergency reports of heavy water flow leakage, and throughout late 2022, there were complaints about pest infestations that resulted in violations being issued.

The building has also faced documented problems with building systems, including a power outage and heating issues in December 2022 that could not be inspected due to access issues. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several safety concerns, including issues with self-closing doors in various locations (public hall, third-story bulkhead, and apartment 2L) and an uncapped steam line in the first-story vestibule. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020-2025, with no infestations reported. However, there are currently active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023.

Historical data indicates previous rodent activity in 2016 and inconsistent results in rodent inspections from 2013-2016, though no recent rodent issues have been reported. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019-2021, including electrical and plumbing work. While many past violations have been closed, the ongoing issues with door functionality, water leaks, and the lack of proper heating system maintenance suggest continuing maintenance challenges. The building's history also shows instances of inspection access being denied during various complaints, which can hinder proper resolution of reported issues.
