47 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 47 Clifton Place in Clinton Hill, owned by Michael Gerstein, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation from 2024 for failure to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection, and multiple violations from 2023 for not filing External Low-Pressure Inspections between 2018-2022. The building also has an active ECB violation from 2021 regarding failure to comply with permit requirements, which carries a penalty of $1,250.

Recent emergency complaints from October 2023 indicate issues with travel lines, while previous heat and hot water complaints were recorded in 2019 and 2018, though these were closed without resolution after inspection access was not granted. The building has demonstrated generally good pest control management, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024). Rodent inspections show mostly passing results since 2018, though there was one report of rat activity in December 2019.

The property has undergone some repairs and maintenance work, as evidenced by the permit issued in December 2021. Recent inspections from October 2023 revealed self-closing door issues in multiple apartments (2A, 2C, 4A, and 4B), though these violations appear to have been addressed by the certified date of October 27-31, 2023. While the building's age (built in 1905) and its history of various violations might raise concerns, the most recent inspections suggest some responsiveness to maintenance issues, though with notable gaps in compliance regarding required inspections.
