Augrented Insights Report for 251 Clifton Place

251 Clifton Place is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Michael Malek. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues in 2025, with ten separate heat/hot water complaints filed between February and May 2025, several involving both entire building and individual apartments, though most have been resolved. Multiple complaints and violations were recorded in 2024 for various apartments, including issues with self-closing doors, interior wall conditions, and safety equipment. Notable violations included a significant 2019 Environmental Control Board citation regarding fire safety concerns in the boiler room, which was resolved, and a 2018 citation for work not conforming to approved construction documents.

The building has shown mixed results in pest control management, with reports showing zero bedbug infestations from 2019-2024. However, there have been routine rodent inspections revealing "Rat Activity" in 2024, with the most recent July 2025 inspection passing compliance. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in different apartments during 2023-2024, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs. The property underwent two Professional Certification Compliance Audits in 2018-2019, resulting in violations being served.

While there have been multiple complaints about heating issues, many were closed due to inability to gain apartment access for inspection, suggesting potential challenges with tenant communication or access coordination. The building's documented history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and various building safety features. However, it has maintained compliance in more recent rodent inspections, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past several years. The most recent Heating/Hydronic System compliance inspection report from July 2025 indicates ongoing concerns, with the latest service request still listed as open.
