718 Banner Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 718 Banner Avenue in Brighton Beach, owned by Tatyana Eppel and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. Most recently, in 2024, the building received housing maintenance code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024, though filings from 2025 show no infestations were reported during the previous two years. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in April 2021 for both the entire building and the boiler system, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these complaints.

The property has shown some concerning patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly in the earlier years of the inspection period. Between 2015 and 2016, there was significant attention to rodent control, with multiple bait applications recorded between June and August 2015, following initial inspections indicating rat activity. The building also experienced complications during the COVID-19 pandemic, with multiple attempts to inspect the premises for various complaints being met with access issues during 2021.

More recently, the building's bedbug monitoring has shown consistent compliance, with no reported infestations from 2020 onward. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat systems and rodent control in the past, the building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, though the documentation for 2025 shows there were no infested units during the previous reporting period. The most significant recent violations have been primarily administrative in nature, relating to required paperwork rather than immediate health or safety concerns.
