528 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 528 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Chester Cotter, has a concerning history of pest-related issues spanning over a decade. Most notably, there are four open violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024.

These reports have been consistently required each year from 2021 through 2024. The building also experienced a pest-related incident in March 2021, resulting in an unsanitary condition complaint, though this particular incident was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and closed without violations being issued.

Going further back, the property had significant rodent issues in 2011-2012, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, particularly in the latter half of 2011 when three separate inspections recorded evidence of rats, followed by additional bait applications through mid-2012. The building, constructed in 1930, is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property and has maintained its original structure as a four-story building. While the most recent building data focuses primarily on pest-related violations, it's important to note that these issues have persisted over multiple years, with the bedbug report violations remaining open as of April 2024.
