83 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 6-story, 40-unit residential building at 83 Clifton Place in Clinton Hill, owned by David Cohen, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since early 2025. Most recently, there have been multiple reports of rodent activity, with the latest complaint filed in June 2025. The building has also faced significant plumbing issues, including multiple water supply complaints in March 2025, heating system problems, and concerns about various building systems including windows, doors, flooring, and ventilation, most of which resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access to complete their evaluations.

A cluster of violations was documented in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1D, which included issues with self-closing doors, electrical systems, sprinkler heads, and a fire safety door, while apartment 6B reported a roach infestation. Building systems and safety compliance have been a recurring focus, with active complaints as of mid-2025 regarding elevator service and unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas. The property has experienced periods of construction-related disturbances, with several environmental control board violations in 2023 concerning inadequate housekeeping during construction, electrical work compliance, and tenant protection plan violations, resulting in fines.

The building's pest management history shows variable conditions, with a notable infestation in 2023 (7 units) followed by a report of no infested units in 2024-2025. Regular rodent inspections have shown consistent "Rat Activity" detection, with the most recent compliance inspection in May 2025 confirming ongoing issues. The property also has several open violations regarding the failure to certify corrections for hazardous conditions and inspection requirements, as documented in the Department of Buildings records.
