250 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 250 Clarkson Avenue building, a 100-unit, 6-story residential structure built in 1962 and currently owned by Barry Hers, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with the most recent activity recorded in July 2025 following multiple bait applications throughout 2025 and late 2024, along with documented rat sightings in February 2025. The building has also faced significant plumbing and water issues, including multiple emergency complaints about heavy water leaks in early 2025, one of which resulted in a Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation citing a partially collapsed bathroom ceiling in apartment 327.
In addition to these pressing concerns, the building has a pattern of maintenance violations requiring attention to safety features. Recent violations include multiple issues with self-closing doors in public areas and stairwells, which were documented during a September-October 2024 inspection. The elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints between 2020-2024, with multiple inspections revealing various issues including door mechanism problems, phone system failures, and maintenance requirements, though many of these complaints were ultimately found to have no violations at the time of inspection.
The building has also experienced access issues during inspections, particularly regarding plumbing and general maintenance matters, where HPD inspectors were unable to complete their inspections in several instances in early 2025. While the building has a history of bedbug infestations between 2019-2021, recent filings from 2022-2024 show no reported cases, indicating successful eradication efforts. The property is also currently facing an active violation regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information, as of December 2023. These persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding rodent activity and building systems, suggest ongoing challenges in property upkeep and tenant comfort at this East Flatbush location.
