57 Cambridge Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 57 Cambridge Place in Clinton Hill, owned by Jacques Dillard and constructed in 1879, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance over recent years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four consecutive annual violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open at the current date.

These repeated violations suggest an ongoing issue with adherence to required health and safety documentation procedures. In the summer of 2022, the building experienced two Department of Buildings complaints on August 26 regarding unauthorized work, one pertaining to illegal work on a landmark building and another concerning work without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling.

While the complaint regarding unpermitted work was closed with no violation found at the time of inspection that same day, a second complaint regarding landmark violations required a second inspection attempt due to access denial. These incidents reflect both historical and recent regulatory challenges faced by the property, though it's worth noting that the building has maintained its Class A designation as a converted multiple dwelling.
