That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Does 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $4,476 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened July 30, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1905 as the year 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 16 residential units at 51 Clifton Place, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
