Augrented Insights Report for 945 Jefferson Avenue

945 Jefferson Avenue is a six-unit, four-story residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Nellie Levitis and located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The property has experienced persistent water-related issues, with multiple complaints recorded through 2023-2024, including heavy flow water leaks and slow leaks, though not all inspections were completed successfully due to access issues.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing concerns, with violations issued in September 2023 related to ceiling paint/plaster conditions, and more recent violations emerging in June 2024 regarding an illegal padlock on a gate and defective fire escape equipment. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including an April 2024 violation for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections, and recurring rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent compliance inspection in June 2024 showing rat activity. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with several Housing Maintenance Code violations remaining open as of the latest data, including concerns about roof leaks affecting Apartment 3R and various paint/plaster conditions.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2019-2020), the building has experienced occasional unsanitary conditions, including issues with garbage/recycling storage in 2023. The Department of Buildings records show various inspection attempts where access was not granted, particularly in 2022-2023 regarding plumbing-related complaints. The building has passed some critical inspections, including heat and hot water systems when they were required, though these systems have generated complaints in the past.
