156 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
156 Clinton Street is a historic four-story, 10-unit Class A residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, dating back to 1847 and currently owned by Harry Klug. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a documented heat and hot water failure affecting the entire building in January 2025, for which HPD issued violations that required repair within a specified timeframe. The building has a history of boiler-related concerns, including a June 2024 violation regarding a clogged combustion air inlet, empty fire extinguisher, and other maintenance issues, with previous complaints about defective/inoperative boilers recorded in both 2025 and 2024, though inspections did not warrant violations at those times.
The property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple rat activity reports between 2016 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2022 passed without violations. Bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been consistently met, with no infestations reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2025. The building has also experienced various plumbing issues, evidenced by multiple complaints between 2025 and 2022, though not all resulted in violations.
Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2022-2023 indicate issues with annual bedbug report filings, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent filings showing zero infested units. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive inspections by relevant agencies, though with varying outcomes from violations to "no violation warranted" findings. While the building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, plumbing, and pest control, recent years have shown improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, and recent inspections have generally resulted in passed conditions. The building's age and history suggest typical maintenance challenges for similar historic properties, though the frequency of heating and pest-related issues may be of concern to potential residents.
