2408 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2408 Clarendon Road is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Royce Douglas. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably recent plumbing and water leak problems documented in March 2025, as well as a heating system failure affecting the entire building in October 2024. Multiple housing maintenance code violations are currently open as of August 2023, including issues with mortar brick joints, interior painting requirements, and problems with self-closing doors.

Previous violations from 2023 regarding fire escape encumbrances and storage issues in public areas have been resolved. The building's infrastructure has shown consistent maintenance challenges, with documented violations and complaints regarding water systems, windows, and general maintenance. The property has maintained a relatively pest-free record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four monitoring periods from 2019 to 2023, and rodent inspections in 2015-2016 showed mixed results, with the building passing compliance checks in February 2016 after an initial failure in October 2015.

The most recent cluster of complaints in March 2025 included issues with a slow water leak, plumbing problems, and window maintenance, all of which resulted in violation notices from HPD. Prior to this, the building faced various maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2024, including issues with flooring, stairs, doors, and heating systems, indicating ongoing infrastructure and maintenance needs. While some past violations have been resolved, the presence of open violations as of August 2023 suggests ongoing maintenance requirements that must be addressed.
