262 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
262 Clinton Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1878, currently owned by Leslie Johnson. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025, with recurring issues particularly related to heat and water systems. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues (including an April 2025 emergency complaint), and multiple housing maintenance code violations related to water systems, plumbing, and sanitation. The building has documented problems with water leaks (both slow leaks and emergency situations), flooring issues, and pests.
Multiple HPD inspections in 2025 faced access issues, making it difficult to verify some of the reported conditions. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including infrastructure issues such as leaky plumbing, problematic flooring, and heating system failures. The property also has open violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings dating back to 2017-2020, and records show ongoing rodent activity with multiple compliance inspections revealing rat activity between 2021-2024. The Department of Buildings documented multiple complaints about work without permits and scaffolding issues in late 2023, including violations for unsupported scaffolding and failure to properly post work permits.
Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have indicated ongoing issues with sanitation, including an open garbage/recycling storage violation as of June 2025. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (based on records from 2021-2023), the building's overall condition suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices for issues ranging from safety concerns (such as detached roof exit ladders and stairs) to compliance failures regarding heating systems and water supply. The history of unaddressed complaints, particularly regarding access for inspections, raises ongoing concerns about maintenance responsiveness.
