500 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

500 Clinton Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, built in 1930 and currently owned by Betty Kapakos. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, most notably concerning its boiler system. A serious incident in March 2020 resulted in violations for an unregistered Williamson boiler operating with defects, including a defective flue and exposed wires, for which the building's owners were fined $625.

A follow-up violation was issued in November 2021 for failure to comply with previous orders related to the boiler. More recently, in June 2023, an active violation was recorded for failure to file the required 2019 external low-pressure inspection, indicating potential ongoing maintenance compliance issues. The building's pest management history shows a concerning pattern, with multiple rodent inspections between 2011-2014 revealing periods of rat activity that required bait application to address.

However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years, with the most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 and prior filings showing zero affected units. This suggests some improvement in pest management, though the building's historical rodent issues from 2011 through 2014 were significant. While the absence of recent bedbug or rodent reports in the past several years may indicate improved conditions, the unresolved violations related to the boiler system and external inspections warrant attention to ongoing maintenance practices at the property.
