186 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

186 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Albert Aranbaev. The property has experienced recurring issues with building maintenance compliance, most notably with window safety and bedbug reporting. As of April 2024, there are active violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, marking the fourth consecutive year of such violations.

In June 2022, multiple class C violations were recorded concerning defective window guards, both in the public areas and specifically in the top-floor apartment, as well as issues with a defective self-closing door in the first-story public hall. While some of these violations have been closed, the building currently has unresolved safety concerns. The building has also accumulated active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, which were issued in June 2023.

A previous DOB violation from 2019 concerning the failure to file an annual boiler inspection was dismissed in 2020 after the civil penalty was paid. Bedbug reports from 2021-2023 consistently showed zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue despite the reporting violations. The property has undergone several permitted alterations between 2020-2021, with multiple permits issued under job number 321597526. Rodent inspections conducted in 2020 showed initial rat activity in June but resulted in a passing compliance inspection in October of that year.
