119 Cambridge Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

119 Cambridge Place is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, built in 1879 and currently owned by Aaron Schwartz. The property has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding chemical vapors, gases, and odors. Most notably, there has been a pattern of smoking or vaping violations in smoke-free areas during 2025, with two active complaints in progress as of mid-2025, including one from June 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows a cluster of housing maintenance code complaints in February 2021, addressing various issues including plumbing (sink and radiator), electrical (lighting), and door/window problems, all of which were subsequently closed. Apartment 7, in particular, had several violations in 2021 related to plumbing, electrical, and plaster repairs, though these were addressed and certified as corrected. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years (2018-2023), and the property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, indicating proper management of this potential issue.

Historical violations from 2019 included requirements for gas leak procedures and building maintenance notices, which were also resolved. While the recent air quality and smoking violations suggest ongoing challenges with resident comfort and compliance with building policies, the property's repair history shows responsiveness to most maintenance issues as they arise. The recurring nature of recent air quality complaints, particularly with multiple open cases in 2025, represents the most significant current concern regarding building conditions.
