917 Elton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 917 Elton Street in East New York, owned by Israel Weiss, has faced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2020, with the most concerning problems centering around pest infestations and moisture-related conditions. Between November 2020 and March 2022, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including several pest-related incidents that led to housing code violations.

Notably, in May 2021, the building received violations for a rodent infestation (Class C violation) in Apartment 1, along with defective bathroom faucet issues (Class B violation). A mold-related complaint was filed in March 2022, though inspectors were unable to access the property for confirmation. The property has experienced access-related challenges for inspections, with multiple housing department attempts being unsuccessful, particularly regarding pest and mold investigations.

Two complaints about potential illegal conversions were filed in late 2020, both resulting in access denial during inspections. External inspections in July 2021 for rodent problems failed for "Other Reasons," though a July 2012 inspection had previously passed. While some maintenance issues have been addressed—evidenced by the closure of various complaints—there remain concerns about the building's maintenance history, particularly regarding moisture control and pest management.
