289 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, 4-unit residential building at 289 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, built in 1884 and currently owned by Jeroen De Schrijver, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's requirement to file annual bedbug reports.

The building has also faced multiple administrative violations in 2021, including issues with posting necessary safety information, such as gas leak procedures and smoke detector requirements, though some of these were subsequently closed by June 2021. The property has a history of permit-related compliance issues, including two Environmental Control Board violations from June 2021, each imposing a $1,250 penalty, related to the failure to comply with permit sign-off requirements for expired permits obtained in 2017 and 2019.

There was also a construction-related complaint in 2021 regarding work being done beyond approved plans/permits, which resulted in an "Oath Violation Served" disposition. While a bedbug issue reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020 showed no infested units, the recurrence of bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance. The building's most recent permitted work, issued in February 2019, was related to exterior work (EW) under job number 320931435, though this permit subsequently expired in 2019 without proper sign-off.
