250 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

250 Carlton Avenue is a three-story, seven-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, built in 1866 and currently owned by Frank Wilkinson. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2018-2023. Noteworthy concerns include multiple heat and hot water complaints (2018, 2019, and 2023), water-related issues (including leaks and plumbing problems), and recurring problems with the building's intercom/buzzer system.

Apartment 4, in particular, has been the focus of several violations and complaints, including issues with the bathroom ceiling, walls, and plumbing fixtures that remained open or were only recently addressed. The building has documented violations for the past two years regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though recent reports from 2023-2025 indicate no infestations during the reporting periods. Most recent violations include an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection.

The property has maintained generally good rodent control, with inspections from 2015-2017 showing passing results, though there was one report of rat activity in March 2016. While many recent complaints have been closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), some violations remain unresolved as of the latest data, particularly concerning intercom system functionality and bathroom maintenance in Apartment 4. The building has a history of infrastructure and maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention, particularly regarding water systems, heating, and general upkeep of common areas and individual apartments.
