Augrented Insights Report for 561 Clinton Street

561 Clinton Street is a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Abe Cohen. The building has experienced several recurring issues between 2023 and 2025, most notably with sanitation concerns regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed through HPD in 2025 and 2024. There have been multiple serious infrastructure issues, including recurrent heat and hot water problems, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, though some complaints were not able to be verified due to lack of access.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, including water supply problems in early 2024. Recent inspections reveal ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open violation from December 2023 regarding a fire escape obstruction caused by an air conditioning unit, and multiple environmental control board violations from March 2023 related to unauthorized outdoor advertising signs, with associated penalties totaling $8,875. The building's history shows a pattern of heating system issues, with several emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water failures. Additionally, there have been two rodent activity inspections in late 2024 indicating ongoing pest management challenges.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug report history since 2020, with zero reported infestations in recent years. The building's violation history shows various compliance issues, including a 2019 violation regarding the use of a unit for non-residential purposes and multiple complaints about unauthorized advertising signs. There have been several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify complaints, particularly concerning heat and hot water issues in December 2023 and multiple illegal conversion complaints from 2022 through 2025. The property has been subject to multiple sanitation and maintenance inspections, with some conditions requiring follow-up inspections, particularly regarding rodent conditions noted in October 2024 as having rat activity.
