18 Fairview Place, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 18 Fairview Place in East Flatbush, owned by Eli Shillian, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between October 2023 and February 2024. During this period, there were multiple reports of water-related problems, including heavy and slow leaks, with associated mold issues. There were also complaints about heating problems and ceiling paint/plaster issues, all of which resulted in housing violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

More recently, in February 2024, there were additional violations related to ceiling paint/plaster problems and mold under emergency complaint categories. The building's record shows persistent concerns about unauthorized alterations, with three illegal conversion complaints filed between March 2023 and June 2024, though access was denied for at least one inspection, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. There was also a Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint in January 2024 with access denied during inspection.

Various other issues have been documented, including problems with the building's intercom system, sewage backing, and a possibly related emergency response concerning the building's heat/hot water system. A violation remains active as of September 2024 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. On a positive note, recent bedbug reports from December 2023 and November 2024 indicate no infestations during the reporting periods covering 2022-2023, suggesting effective pest management practices.
