400 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
400 Clinton Avenue is a 35-unit, 6-story residential building located in Clinton Hill and built in 1927, currently owned by Moses Berkovics. The building has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues in 2025, particularly during the June period, with multiple emergency service requests related to heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, heavy water leaks, and plumbing issues including problems with steam pipes/risers and bathtub/shower facilities. Additionally, there have been recent complaints about ceiling paint/plaster issues and lighting problems. The property has also shown difficulties with HPD inspections, as several recent complaints (May 2025) were unable to be properly inspected due to access issues.
Historical records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including various housing maintenance code violations in 2024 such as mold issues in apartment 5F, exposed electrical wires in the 6th-floor public hall, and multiple problems with compactor-related doors and latches. The building's elevator system has faced scrutiny, with a complaint filed in 2019 regarding single-device service. Earlier records from 2018 show multiple complaints about illegal after-hours work. More positively, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations in recent filings from 2021 through 2025, though there was one significant outbreak in 2019-2020 that was documented and eradicated across all units.
The property has passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2013, suggesting reasonable pest control measures. The building's recent history shows particularly pressing concerns with building-wide systems, particularly during mid-2025, with multiple simultaneous complaints regarding essential services. While some individual unit issues have been addressed through violations and inspections, the pattern of access-related inspection failures and clustered emergency complaints suggests potential challenges in maintaining building systems and responding to maintenance needs. The property has active DOB violations concerning the failure to file required energy benchmarking reports from 2020-2021, indicating possible regulatory compliance issues.
