530 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 530 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Nancy Schuh and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly with heating and electrical systems. Most notably, in early 2025, there were simultaneous complaints about heat/hot water issues and a power outage affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper investigations. Similar heating system complaints have persisted since 2021, with emergency complaints recorded in November 2024 and February 2025, indicating a troubling pattern of inadequate heat and hot water services.

The building has also faced challenges with plumbing infrastructure, including a water leak incident in November 2021 that was addressed by HPD. The building's records reveal ongoing compliance and safety monitoring issues, with multiple citations for failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings from 2024-2025 report no current infestations or eradication efforts. While there was an investigation into illegal hotel room usage in late 2021, inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their examination.

Additionally, historical records from 2011-2012 indicate previous rodent activity in the building, suggesting past pest control challenges, though this is not a recent concern. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent issues with basic services and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding heating systems and reporting requirements, with the most concerning being the recent pattern of heating system failures that prompted multiple emergency complaints. While some past issues have been resolved, such as the water leak from 2021, the inability of inspectors to gain access during multiple complaint investigations raises questions about the effectiveness of response protocols to address resident concerns.
