Augrented Insights Report for 196 Clinton Avenue

196 Clinton Avenue is a 5-story, 98-unit residential building constructed in 1903 located in the Clinton Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Irning Fleischman. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about plumbing problems including sink and shower issues, some of which resulted in violations after HPD inspections. A particular area of concern is Apartment C4, which has accumulated a series of violations since 2024, including plumbing problems, water leaks, mold issues, and deficiencies in required safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has a noted history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing consistent rat presence, and the most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 failed for unspecified reasons. The property has faced various maintenance challenges and regulatory issues over the years, including several Department of Buildings violations. Recent ongoing matters include a potentially hazardous tree near the main entrance noted in late 2023 inspections and multiple outstanding violation notices regarding fire safety systems and occupancy issues.

The building's history also shows past problems with illegal hotel room use (2019), egress issues (2018), and plumbing violations. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations, the persistent pattern of plumbing issues, safety equipment deficiencies, and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced periodic violations related to Certificate of Occupancy compliance, indicating potential issues with legal occupancy status, though many historical violations have been resolved through correction certification.
