267 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

267 Clifton Place is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and owned by Chaim Halberstam. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, particularly evident in October 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding these services for the entire building as well as individual apartments. These complaints reveal a troubling pattern of access issues for inspectors attempting to verify conditions.

The building currently has open violations related to heating system access in the boiler room, which was noted in inspections from both March and October 2024. Other maintenance concerns have emerged, including plumbing issues and reports of pests, with multiple service requests related to unsanitary conditions in October 2024 alone. The building's inspection history shows some maintenance improvements over time, including the resolution of various violations between 2022 and 2024, such as those related to fire escape access and self-closing doors.

Notably, the property has maintained a zero-infested status for bedbugs in recent years, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2024 indicating no infested units or instances of re-infestation. However, there has been ongoing concern regarding rodent activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded between 2024 and 2025, suggesting persistent challenges in maintaining proper sanitation conditions. The building's history also includes two investigations into potential illegal hotel room use in late 2023, though these inspections resulted in the inspectors being unable to access the premises for confirmation.
