123 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The five-story, nine-unit building at 123 Clifton Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moses Karpen, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several maintenance challenges since occupancy. The most recent issue, as of May 2025, involved no lighting in the building that was reported in April 2025 but was left unresolved due to HPD's inability to complete an inspection.

Throughout 2024, there were multiple concerning issues including a ceiling paint/plaster problem in apartment 4B that resulted in violations, along with pest infestations (both roaches and mice) and unsanitary conditions involving mold and garbage storage. There were also repeated complaints about heat and hot water issues in January 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's construction and early occupancy period (2019-2020) saw some significant enforcement actions, including multiple sustainability enforcement work orders and several violations related to construction safety procedures, though most of these were ultimately resolved.

Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no documented infestations, and while there have been three "Rat Activity" inspections in 2024-2025, the building's most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) indicates no infestations. The property currently has several open violations, including issues with mold, pest control, and emergency safety equipment in apartment 1A, as well as a public hall maintenance violation. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with access for inspections and timely resolution of reported issues, particularly regarding lighting, heat, and water problems, which have been recurring themes throughout its operational period.
