740 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
740 Clarkson Avenue is a 6-story, 57-unit residential building located in East Flatbush and owned by Harry Stern. The building, constructed in 1958, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints registered between January and June 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These complaints, while generally resulting in inspections and temporary resolutions, indicate an ongoing maintenance challenge with the building's heating system. Earlier records from 2022 show various maintenance concerns in specific units, including issues in apartment 4E involving water supply problems and a pest infestation, and in apartment 1H with multiple violations related to door functionality, mold, plumbing, and pest control, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's elevator system has been a focus of attention, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding its performance and maintenance, including instances of "No Alternate Service" situations.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) records also reveal several active violations related to building management requirements, including failures to file necessary reports and conduct proper inspections, particularly regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance and energy benchmarking. More recently, in 2024, there have been environmental control board violations related to elevator maintenance and pit conditions. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several reporting periods, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2025, and rodent inspections in 2014 and 2015 showed improved compliance, though one initial inspection in 2015 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons."
