198 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

198 Clifton Place is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 2017 and currently owned by Simen Neiman, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The property has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over recent years, with the most recent reports in 2025 indicating ongoing rat activity, despite some inspections showing "Passed" results. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with some requiring follow-up inspections.

The building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, showing no reported infestations during these periods. The building's maintenance history shows several concerning events, particularly in 2023-2025. There have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest problems and garbage/recycling storage issues, though many were marked as closed without inspection access. The property has also experienced specific maintenance issues such as electric/gas range problems (2025), and historically faced heat and hot water issues in 2018.

Two carbon monoxide detector incidents occurred in December 2019, classified as emergencies, though these were promptly addressed within a week. The building has undergone regular inspections and follow-ups regarding its sanitary conditions, with varying results. Most recent records indicate ongoing compliance efforts, with some inspections still showing rat activity in 2025 despite earlier findings of improved conditions in late 2024. The building's construction and permit history is relatively straightforward, with a significant permit for plumbing work issued in July 2018.
