2204 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2204 Clarendon Road is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 2204 Realty LLC and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with seven documented complaints in the past five years, including three recent incidents in early 2025 (January 4 and 21) and one in late 2024 (November 25). While some of these complaints were temporarily resolved during HPD inspections, the frequency of these heat-related issues suggests an ongoing systemic problem.

The building also underwent significant safety inspections in 2023, revealing multiple violations related to fire safety, including obstructions in fire egress pathways, a defective fire escape ladder, and various maintenance issues such as rust on balcony structures, roof leaks, and lead paint hazards in apartment 4O. All these violations were subsequently certified as corrected, with associated repair work completed by mid-2023. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by regular annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

However, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report from 2017. Additional 2023 repairs included addressing unsanitary conditions related to mold and repairing various building maintenance issues, such as broken glass in doors and damaged fire retardant materials in common areas. While many of these issues have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints suggests this remains an ongoing maintenance challenge within the building.
