73 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

73 Clifton Place is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1905 and currently owned by Louise Clark. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint in November 2022 affecting the entire building and previous similar complaints in early 2019, both of which required HPD intervention.

The building has several open violations that require attention, including failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as of 2023-2024 inspections. A significant cluster of maintenance issues was documented in January 2019, including violations related to plumbing (basins/sinks), electrical outlets/switches, and door issues, all of which were subsequently closed after inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and heating system challenges, particularly affecting the third-story apartment (Apartment 3), which had documented issues with hot water supply, leaky kitchen faucets, and multiple other maintenance concerns in 2019.

While rodent inspections conducted between 2018-2019 showed generally favorable results, including passing inspections in December 2019 and August 2019, there was one initial failure in June 2019. The property has maintained some level of bedbug control, as evidenced by the 2020-2021 reporting period showing no infested units, though the required reporting compliance has been inconsistent. This historical data suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems maintenance, particularly heating and hot water infrastructure, while also indicating periods of both compliance and non-compliance with various housing maintenance codes.
