Augrented Insights Report for 281 Clifton Place

281 Clifton Place is a 4-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 281 Clifton Place LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and a recent complaint in January 2025 that was closed without inspection access. Other notable maintenance issues have included problems with garbage/recycling storage in 2024, appliance malfunction (refrigerator) in 2022, and various inspection-related access issues in 2021 involving water leaks, intercom systems, flooring, and general maintenance concerns.

While the building had several violations related to safety requirements posted in common areas in 2021, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, most have been addressed and closed. The property underwent significant scrutiny in 2020 when complaints were filed regarding illegal cellar conversions, resulting in violations for unpermitted work and improper occupancy of cellar space. This situation was resolved with a penalty of $1250.

The building's safety systems received attention in 2020-2021, with violations noted regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2A, though these appear to have been addressed. Recent inspections show consistent rodent control compliance, with passed inspections conducted in 2023-2025. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2019 to 2024, with no reported incidents in recent years. The property has also complied with regular bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings.
