3214 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

3214 Clarendon Road is a 4-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in East Flatbush, currently owned by Ernest Schemitscm. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable between 2019 and 2022, with multiple complaints filed through HPD regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific problems.

In 2023, there was a complaint about building shaking/vibrating which resulted in no violations being issued. The building has also faced some maintenance challenges, with violations recorded in 2018 related to apartment D3 including pest issues (roaches and mice in the kitchen), multiple repair needs, and safety concerns involving a defective carbon monoxide detector, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has had several Department of Buildings violations regarding energy benchmarking reporting requirements between 2019-2024, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved.

Notably, 3214 Clarendon Road has maintained a clean record in recent years with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, with the most recent reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units. Rodent inspections conducted in 2011, 2018, and ongoing pest control efforts suggest active management of vermin issues, with the most recent inspections passing without note of current infestations. While the pattern of heat/hot water complaints suggests historical comfort concerns, particularly in 2019-2022, the lack of recent similar complaints or recorded violations may indicate improved conditions, though the age of the building (94 years old as of 2025) and its history of multiple systems issues warrant continued attention to maintenance needs.
