860 Elton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

860 Elton Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in East New York. Built in 1996 and currently owned by Xifan Lin, the property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years.

Most recently, in September 2023, multiple emergency service requests were filed regarding door and window problems, including a window pane issue and a porch/balcony concern, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) ultimately found no violations in these cases. The building has a history of significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018-2019 when violations were documented in the second-floor apartment, including the absence of carbon monoxide detectors, a cockroach infestation, and leaky bathroom faucets. During this period, there was also a complaint regarding a broken window guard and an emergency heat/hot water issue, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in the latter case.

The property underwent rodent inspections in 2017, which resulted in failures for "Other Reasons," and the building's history includes a 2021 complaint about an alleged illegal conversion, though the inspector was unable to gain access during inspections in 2022. The most recent documented service repairs, which were closed between May 2024 and September 2024, primarily involved door and window maintenance work. While many of the recent complaints have been resolved, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance issues that have required multiple HPD interventions over the years, with some violations remaining open as of the most recent data available.
