19 Cambridge Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, four-unit building at 19 Cambridge Place in Clinton Hill, owned by Kelsy Yates and constructed in 1872, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is a current Department of Health inspection initiated in May 2025 regarding lead dust in common areas, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has multiple active violations with the Department of Buildings for failing to file annual external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property has accumulated several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though the reports filed from 2019 to 2024 indicate no actual infestations occurred during the reporting periods. The building has experienced various structural and safety-related complaints in 2025, including concerns about building vibrations and excessive debris, though inspections generally found no violations warranting enforcement. The property has maintained an active bedbug management program, with consistent reporting showing no infestations over the past five years.

Rodent activity was noted in 2011, though a subsequent inspection that same year passed compliance standards. The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance checks under Local Law 188/17, with recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 finding no violations requiring enforcement action. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, the property does not currently show any active housing maintenance code violations pertaining to habitability or safety concerns, aside from the ongoing lead dust investigation.
