388 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

This four-story, two-family residence at 388 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Vivek Mahajan, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most concerning are two mold-related emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in late 2022, which although one was inspected without violations being found, and access could not be gained for inspection on the other, this indicates persistent unsanitary conditions.

The building also has a history of construction-related issues, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Buildings (DOB) - most recently, a Partial Stop Work Order issued in November 2024, and a violation in 2021 regarding work performed contrary to approved plans, for which an Oath Violation was served. This was linked to a permit compliance issue, where it was noted that a permit obtained in 2015 had not been properly signed off by its expiration date. The property has shown proactive management regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in either the most recent 2023-2024 or previous 2017-2018 reporting periods.

Records indicate proper permit issuance for electrical and plumbing work in late 2019, suggesting some level of maintenance compliance. However, the active DOB violation related to stopped work as of November 2024 indicates ongoing construction management issues that may affect resident experience. While the building has had its share of complaints and violations, there have been periods where issues have been resolved, though the pattern of mold complaints and recent construction-related matters are of particular note.
