169 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

169 Clinton Street is a four-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1899 in Brooklyn Heights, currently owned by Patricia Perlman. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, particularly evident in 2021 when multiple rat sightings were reported between July and October, with inspections in August and December confirming rat activity.

These health concerns prompted four separate 311 complaints that year, though more recent rat-related complaints have not been documented since. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2020 to present, with zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. However, the property was cited for failing to file its annual boiler inspection report for 2017 in November 2019, representing the only active Department of Buildings violation as of October 2023.

In terms of regulatory compliance, the building has had three documented violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though records indicate compliance has improved recently with filings in 2025 showing no infestation issues. The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections in response to complaints, including a landmark illegal work complaint in 2021 and a sweep in 2023, with no violations found in either case. While the building's current health inspection records indicate no ongoing pest issues as of 2025, the historical pattern of rodent problems and the previous bedbug reporting violations suggest that vigilance in maintaining pest control and regulatory compliance is important for resident comfort and safety.
