241 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

At 241 Clifton Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a 4-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931, several significant maintenance and safety issues have emerged in recent years. Most concerning are two recent complaints from April 2025 regarding sewage odor and indoor air quality issues, with one inspection attempt unable to gain access to the property. The building has experienced recurring problems with its intercom/buzzer system, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints between 2021 and 2024, though no violations were issued in most cases.

In late 2024, there was a notable heat and hot water complaint regarding the entire building, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the issue. The building's systems and infrastructure have undergone various inspections and corrections, including a 2023 violation regarding unauthorized metal stairs in the yard area, and a 2022 heavy water leak complaint. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the past three years (2021-2024).

Recent rodent inspections show a mix of results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, but indicating rodent activity in August 2023 and multiple bait applications required in late 2024. The building's management appears to have addressed most cited violations promptly, particularly those related to fire safety and building code compliance, including repairs to the public hall walls and fire safety systems noted in 2021. Monthly rodent inspections and various pest control measures have been implemented, suggesting ongoing monitoring of pest-related issues. The report covers data up to October 2023, with more recent events noted for context and potential impact on resident quality of life.
