297 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
297 Clifton Place is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Fimbro 3, Inc. The 126-year-old Old Law Tenement has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2023, there were two electrical-related complaints regarding lighting and intercom systems, though no violations were found upon inspection.
The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with multiple "rat activity" inspections recorded between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in June 2025 and December 2024 passed without issues. Significant violations were noted in April 2019, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment, including concerns about fire egress, carbon monoxide detectors, and various repairs needed for walls and ceilings. During the same period, there were also emergency complaints regarding heating and water issues.
The building has undergone some permit activity, with several permits issued between December 2021 and August 2022, including work related to electrical systems. A notable Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in July 2022 regarding construction debris and maintenance issues, resulting in a $625 penalty. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating no infested or re-infested units during the 2023-2024 period. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent inspections show some improvement, particularly in pest control compliance, though historical patterns of electrical and water-related issues remain a notable concern.
