143 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

143 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill is a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Douglas Bowen. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in mid-2022 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding water leaks (damp spots), unsanitary conditions (pests), and mold, all of which were closed due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection.

Prior to this, in 2021, the building faced rodent problems with an initial inspection resulting in failure (April 2021) followed by a compliance inspection that passed (July 2021). Two separate violations were issued in early 2021 and February 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2025 shows no documented infestations, with all annual filings indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. Following the late-2022 complaints, there have been no further reported issues of mold, water leaks, or pest problems in the most recent years of available data (2023-2025), suggesting either successful resolution of these issues or lack of access for inspections. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control measures since 2021, with no rodent-related complaints or violations recorded in 2022-2025.
