41 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

41 Clifton Place is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building located in Clinton Hill and owned by Stanley Celius. Built in 1905, the building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, when three separate Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints were filed regarding food safety concerns, including improper food handling and rodent/garbage issues.

The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in late 2021 and late 2022. Of particular concern are the current open violation notices from October 2024 in apartment 2A, regarding non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as previous violations in 2023 affecting apartments 2A and 2B, including issues with window safety features, paint conditions, and sprinkler head maintenance.

The building has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2019-2025), and it recently passed a rodent inspection in October 2023. Several permits for renovation and maintenance work have been issued in recent years, including multiple alterations in 2019 and 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts. While the building has demonstrated compliance with recurring rodent inspections and lacks bedbug infestations, the current open violation for safety equipment in apartment 2A and the past heat/hot water issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, though many previously identified violations have been resolved, as indicated by their closure status.
