154A Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
154A Washington Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Ian Clarke. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns currently being open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements for 2022-2024. The building underwent major construction work starting in 2021, which revealed serious structural concerns, with violations noting that the building was "unsafe" with risks of collapse recorded in February 2021.
This triggering a full vacate order and required immediate wall replacement work. Numerous sidewalk shed permit violations have been documented between 2021 and 2024, including expired permits and failure to maintain proper safety measures, resulting in multiple enforcement actions and penalties ranging from $625 to $6,250. The building has a history of maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, including emergency plumbing problems in 2024 and heat/hot water problems in 2021.
Most notably, Apartment 2 has had multiple violations documented in 2020 related to electrical wiring, mold, and door security issues, though some of these were later dismissed or closed. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have consistently shown rat activity, with bait applied in multiple instances throughout early 2025. The building has also faced recurring illegal conversion investigations, with multiple cases opened and Oath violations served between 2023 and 2025. While some historical violations have been resolved, many remain active, particularly those related to construction safety and building maintenance, indicating ongoing challenges with compliance and building maintenance.
