464 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

464 Clinton Avenue is a 6-story, 63-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930. The property has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024 and into early 2025, with multiple complaints filed and documented responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirming restoration of services, though inspections were often unable to gain access for verification. More recently, in early 2025, there was also a complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, with inspection access denied.

The building has documented violations related to safety concerns, including multiple instances of fire door self-closing mechanism violations and historically, issues with roach infestations in apartments 3E and 6H. There are active ECB violations from 2022 regarding improper construction work without permits and failure to post required tenant protection information, with penalties totaling $3,750.00. The building's history includes three significant complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms, illegal conversion, and unpermitted work between 2022 and 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Earlier violations include a plumbing issue in 2018 and several documented instances of rat activity in 2013. The property also has a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 through 2024, with only one documented case in 2020 that was eradicated. Recent maintenance responses have been primarily reactive rather than preventive, with multiple tenants reporting similar issues through 311 services. While some housing code violations have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat and water issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
