939 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

939 Jefferson Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Joe Pollack. The building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges over the past several years, with the most recent significant events occurring in late 2024, including a heat/hot water emergency complaint that went unresolved due to lack of apartment access, and a rodent-related complaint that was investigated but found no violations.

The property has maintained a relatively active record of rodent inspections, with all results showing "Passed" status in 2025 and 2024, though there have been occasional rodent-related complaints, including a rat sighting in 2021. The building's mechanical systems have required attention, as evidenced by a notable 2020 incident involving a defective boiler, which resulted in multiple violations including missing safety components and improper installation issues. This incident led to a hearing and was documented with an Environmental Control Board violation.

However, the property appears to have been in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past five years, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2019, which suggests effective pest management practices. Recent records indicate regular inspections and handling of various maintenance issues, though the repeated complaints about heat/hot water issues suggest ongoing challenges with this particular system. The building has maintained its bedbug-free status through regular reporting and eradication measures, and has passed multiple rodent inspections since 2010, with only occasional setbacks in the form of complaints.
