68 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

68 Clifton Place is a three-story, four-unit residential building built in 1905 and currently owned by Caitilin Rose. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent plumbing complaint regarding a bathtub/shower in May 2023, which was investigated by HPD with no violations found. Between late 2022 and 2023, the building faced multiple pest-related complaints, including documented rodent infestations in Apartment 2 that required abatement in February 2023.

The building underwent an inspection in February 2023 that revealed several safety compliance issues, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problems with self-closing doors, and deficiencies in gas leak and carbon monoxide notice postings. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the mandatory reports filed from 2021 through 2024, it did receive violations in previous years for failing to submit annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been resolved. Historical pest management records show inconsistent rodent activity, with inspections in 2019 showing both rat activity and subsequent compliance approval.

The property owner has made efforts to address various housing maintenance code requirements, as indicated by the April 2023 certification of several previously noted violations, including the installation of proper carbon monoxide device notices and gas leak safety protocols. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing issues, including problems with toilets and showers, though many of these complaints were either not inspected due to access issues or resulted in no violations being found. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (notably in 2019), the frequency of pest-related complaints and the need for multiple violations to be addressed suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.
