119 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 5-story, 9-unit building at 119 Clifton Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moses Karpen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2020. Most recently, in April 2024, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions were filed, including issues with mold and ventilation systems, though these inspections did not result in any violations being issued. A water leak violation was documented during the same period, and in April 2024, additional violations were noted in apartment 1A regarding a water leak in the bathroom, a broken window, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint.

The cellar laundry room has documented mold issues, with violations pending certification as of April 2024. The building's maintenance history includes various concerns about water-related issues, with complaints of damp spots and slow leaks recorded in 2021 and 2024. Health and pest control inspections have shown periods of rodent activity, particularly noted in August 2022, though subsequent inspections in October 2022, July 2025, and others have passed.

During construction in early 2020, there were multiple safety and compliance issues documented, including unauthorized work continuing during a stop work order and problems with sidewalk safety, which resulted in fines. However, all these construction-related violations were resolved, and the building's current bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestation cases. The property has maintained valid permits throughout its operation, with regular filings showing compliance with required inspections and reporting, including a recent rodent inspection pass in July 2025.
