392 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

392 Clinton Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1896, currently owned by Calynne Oyolokor. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between March and June of that year, particularly notable during the months of March, April, and May when there were repeated reports of building-wide heat and hot water problems affecting all units.

These complaints were generally addressed promptly, often being resolved by the time inspectors arrived, though some required multiple reports before being fully addressed. The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple 311 complaints in 2025 regarding both rodent signs and conditions attracting rodents, along with documented rat activity during several inspections in 2024 and 2025. Additional building-wide concerns documented in 2024 included several violations related to safety systems, such as missing smoke detectors and hot water supply issues in specific apartments (notably in apartments 1N and 3N).

The property demonstrated some maintenance compliance issues, with an open violation recorded in September 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in public areas, though many earlier violations from 2024 had been closed. The building has maintained a consistent record of pest control diligence regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years, and the Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2021 related to construction compliance, resulting in an Oath violation being served. A recent electrical wiring complaint in May 2025 was inspected and found to warrant no violation.
