923 Elton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

923 Elton Street is a two-story, two-family house located in East New York, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ellen Baffour-arhin. The most significant documented issues occurred in August-September 2018, when the building experienced multiple concerns that required attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During this period, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions (including pests and mold), safety issues regarding smoke detectors, and problems with flooring, plumbing, and various surfaces. While inspections were conducted for these complaints, violations were only issued specifically related to pest problems and two flooring issues. Following a September 2018 inspection, several open violations were documented for the first-floor apartment, including rodent presence, defective ceramic floor tiles in the bathroom, damaged linoleum in multiple areas, elevator system issues, and problems with door casings.

Although there was an initial rodent inspection in July 2012 that resulted in a passing grade, the 2018 violations indicate recurring pest issues. Notably, all the 2018 complaints were addressed and closed by September 20, 2018, though some violations remain listed as open in the records. The building's documented history shows attention to maintenance issues, with specific violations pointing to problems most prevalent in the first-floor unit, particularly concerning flooring conditions, plumbing fixtures, and general upkeep requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.
