80 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

80 Clarkson Avenue is a 6-story, 83-unit residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Mark Jacob. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most pressing issues occurring in the summer of 2025 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding door problems. In December 2024, the building was found to have multiple maintenance issues including water leaks in apartments 2D and 4F, bathroom problems in apartment 5L, and issues with the building entrance door. The building experienced a major fire incident in December 2022 affecting the 6th floor, causing damage to roof joists and ceilings, and resulting in structural concerns that remain active as of 2025.

Following the fire, there were multiple violations regarding structural safety, including problems with shoring of permanent stairs and building entrances, though these were ultimately dismissed in 2025 after inspection reports were accepted. The building has shown some recurrent maintenance challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2024-2025, primarily related to door, window, and plumbing issues. Notably, there were violations for water damage around windows, broken glass at entrance doors, and various maintenance issues in different apartments. The property has had a relatively stable bedbug situation, with only one reported infestation in 2022-2023, and passed rodent inspections in 2023, though there were failed inspections in 2014-2017.

The building underwent various permit-related work between 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical work, and there were multiple tenant safety inspections conducted in late 2024 and early 2025, all resulting in no violations at the time of inspection. The data shows a history of maintenance issues, particularly following the 2022 fire, though recent inspections and corrections have addressed many of the problems. The building's elevator system has also been a subject of inspection in early 2025, with complaints about multiple devices and service interruption being investigated. While the property has had its share of violations and maintenance challenges, many of these have been addressed through inspections and repairs, with most recent inspections showing fewer active violations.
