42 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
42 Carlton Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Fort Greene and owned by Carlton Residence LLC. The building has undergone several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns documented in 2024-2025 focusing on exterior maintenance. In May 2024, the building received an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain building walls, noting visible cracks with broken/missing masonry plaster at exterior walls #2, #3, and #4, with a penalty of $1,280.
The building's maintenance history shows particular attention needed in 2019-2023, with multiple violations related to Apartment 4R including defective plastered surfaces, ceiling issues, and problems with smoke detector and carbon monoxide devices, though these violations were certified as corrected by 2022. The property has a documented history of rodent issues in 2018, with multiple complaints and inspections indicating rat activity and requiring bait application, though subsequent inspections showed improved conditions. The building has maintained a Bedbug-Free record since at least 2019, with regular annual reporting showing no infested units.
Additional safety-related violations were recorded in 2019 related to the public hallway, including required repairs to stairs with hazardous risers and various maintenance issues in common areas. The building's annual bedbug reports from 2020-2024 consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. While the building's maintenance history shows periods of concentrated violations, particularly in 2018-2019, more recent records (2022-2025) suggest improved overall conditions with fewer recurring issues, though the recent exterior violation from 2024 indicates ongoing maintenance needs.
