948 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 37-unit, 4-story apartment building at 948 Clarkson Avenue in East Flatbush, currently managed by Chantilly Management LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years. From late 2022 through early 2025, there have been multiple complaints about inadequate heating and hot water affecting the entire building, with ten documented incidents between December 2022 and January 2025. While most complaints were ultimately closed without finding violations, they indicate a persistent pattern of temperature control problems.

The building's maintenance history shows some concerning issues from 2021, including active violations for pest control in Apartment A7 (for roaches and mice) and problems with vestibule door plexi-glass panels. The property has also faced regulatory challenges related to building maintenance and compliance. Between 2019 and 2020, the building received multiple violations for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports, though some were later dismissed.

In 2019, there were safety concerns regarding inadequate overhead protection during facade repairs, leading to a $625 fine, though this violation was subsequently resolved. More recently, the building has shown proper compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with recent filings indicating no infestations in any units from 2021 through 2024. The building's management has maintained proactive communication with regulatory agencies when issues arise, as evidenced by the timely closure of most service requests, even when no violations were found during inspections. The property has passed rodent inspections, and while there were initially significant issues with heat and hot water systems, recent complaints have been responded to and addressed through HPD inspections, suggesting some level of system maintenance and improvement efforts.
