392 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

392 Clinton Street is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and owned by Josephine Spada. The 1900 structure, classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has several significant recent issues that warrant attention.

Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving violations for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report. In early 2025, there was a cluster of concerning complaints related to gas safety, with multiple reports of illegal or defective gas hook-up/piping systems, though inspections were unable to access the premises for verification. A wall-related complaint was recorded in February 2025, with an oath violation served, suggesting there was some structural concern being addressed.

This cluster of issues led to the issuance of a violation in April 2025 requiring the erection of a 25-foot sidewalk shed to protect occupants from potential falling debris, though this was subsequently dismissed after the shed was installed. On a positive note, the building passed a rodent inspection in October 2024, indicating compliance with health and safety standards in that regard. The building's recent history shows an ongoing struggle with both safety compliance and maintenance reporting requirements, particularly in the areas of pest control and gas infrastructure.
