451 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
451 Clinton Avenue is a 6-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently managed by 451 Clinton Owners Corp. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with eight emergency complaints filed between 2021 and 2025, including three incidents in 2024-2025, showing a persistent pattern of heating system problems.
Most recently, in March 2025, and previously in December 2024, HPD responded to complaints of lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building. The building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2024, including issues with the fire retardant material and paint requirements in the 5th story public hall. Other notable incidents include a 2020 elevator safety violation regarding door lock monitoring that remains active with a $1,250 penalty.
There have been several bedbug reporting periods completed with zero infestations reported from 2020 through 2024, indicating successful management of this pest issue. The building has also undergone various plumbing and electrical work as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018-2020. During inspections and responses to complaints, HPD has encountered access issues preventing full inspections in some cases, and while many previous heat/hot water complaints were resolved with systems being restored, the frequency of such complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
