428 East 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 428 East 18th Street in Flatbush, owned by Enrico Tarallo, has experienced multiple concerning issues over the past two years, with particular concentration of problems occurring in early 2023. Most notably, there are ongoing construction-related concerns, with three active complaints regarding lead dust contamination in March and April 2023, affecting both common areas and individual apartments.

The building has also faced significant pest control challenges during this period, with multiple reports of rodent sightings between February and March 2023, including at least six separate incidents documented through 311 complaints. Structural and maintenance issues have been documented through various Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, including multiple reports between February and March 2023 regarding flooring problems, while a water leak and unsanitary garbage conditions were reported in late 2022.

The Department of Buildings recorded several complaints in early 2023 related to construction activities, including allegations of work contrary to approved plans and illegal after-hours work, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. Of particular concern is an active violation from October 2022 regarding termite damage in the cellar area, approximately 4 feet in length at the bottom of stairs, which has not been resolved as of the most recent inspection records.
