611 Banner Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

611 Banner Avenue is a 6-story, 101-unit residential building constructed in 1969 and currently owned by Arthur Wiener. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints in January, February, and April reporting both building-wide and apartment-specific service interruptions, though most complaints were eventually closed after heating services were restored or violations were issued. The building has active Housing Maintenance Code violations from September 2024 affecting apartment 5M, including multiple citations for water leaks and damaged plastered surfaces on ceilings and walls.

In addition to these issues, multiple window violations were documented in January 2025, and plumbing problems were reported affecting radiators. The elevator system has been a persistent source of maintenance challenges. Multiple complaints were filed between 2019 and 2023 regarding elevator service, with investigations in 2023 resulting in Oath Violations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 also indicate issues with elevator safety equipment, though some violations from 2021 regarding lobby signs and maintenance were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows various concerns, including a significant number of heating system complaints, plumbing issues, and some problems with pest control and sanitary conditions between 2015 and 2025. However, the most recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2022 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violations over the years, with some issues remaining unresolved longer than others, particularly regarding water leaks and heating system reliability.
