The 13-story residential building at 525 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill, currently owned by Clinton 525 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between March and May 2025, there were multiple water-related problems documented, including both heavy flow and slow leaks, with violations issued by HPD that require correction within a specified timeframe.

Additional maintenance concerns during this period included issues with window frames, ceilings, flooring, and heating systems, though some inspection attempts did not allow for access verification. Looking at the building's recent history, there were violations issued in 2022 regarding a faulty toilet in apartment 8N and required gas leak procedures, though these violations were certified as corrected. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years according to the annual reporting requirements.

The property has also been diligent in addressing safety concerns, though there was an expired fire extinguisher and some maintenance issues noted in 2018 regarding ventilation and door zone equipment. While there have been multiple Department of Buildings violation notices issued between 2019 and 2022, most were related to administrative processes such as energy benchmarking filings and were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The building's permit records from 2018 to 2021 show regular maintenance and upgrade work being performed, with specific permits issued for various maintenance categories.
