945 Eldert Lane, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 945 Eldert Lane in East New York, owned by Yvonne Marshall and constructed in 2000, experienced significant maintenance issues in March 2019, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. During this period, multiple complaints were filed through 311 regarding various problems, including heat/hot water issues (which could not be inspected due to lack of access), flooring conditions, door frame concerns, electrical outlets, and water leak problems. The building was found to have pest infestations (both mice and roaches) that required attention, and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors were documented.

Several housing maintenance code violations were issued, including problems with the refrigerator door gasket, kitchen cabinet, vinyl floor tiles, window balance system, and plastered surfaces in the second-floor apartment. The building had a notable security concern with an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock on an entrance door. The property has undergone some inspection activity in subsequent years, including two complaint investigations in 2022 (July and November), both of which were closed with no violations found.

However, there was also an illegal conversion complaint filed in March 2019, which could not be investigated due to access issues. Historically, there were rodent inspection results showing a failure in June 2015 (for "Other Reasons") and a passing compliance inspection in August 2015. While all complaints and violations from the 2019 incident were marked as closed, it's worth noting that many required repairs and pest issues affected the building's second-floor apartment at that time. The apartment's balcony space was noted as having no access to certain services during inspections.
