57 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

57 Clifton Place is a 4-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1905 and currently owned by Eric Orlofsky. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns centered around rodent activity. In early 2025, the building was found to have conditions attracting rodents, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 passed.

The building has faced consistent heating and hot water system challenges, with emergency complaints in 2021 and 2022 regarding inadequate service. Violations were documented in February 2021 for inadequate hot water in Apartment 3 and problems accessing the heating system in the cellar. The property has also experienced electrical issues, including a power outage in July 2021, though no violations were issued following the inspection. Maintaining building safety and security remains a priority, as evidenced by violations in 2023 related to self-closing doors at the building entrance and vestibule, which were subsequently corrected.

Bedbug inspections have consistently shown no infestation from 2019 through 2024, with all filing periods reporting zero infested or re-infested units. A complaint received in August 2024 regarding work without a permit was investigated and found to have no warranted violations. The Department of Buildings records show regular compliance inspections passing between 2018-2019, with the most recent permit related to exterior work issued in July 2018. The building's history demonstrates ongoing attention to maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, with most complaints being addressed and resolved through appropriate channels.
