886 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
886 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Shlomo Karpen. The building's maintenance history shows several notable issues, with the most recent being a gas range complaint in late 2024 that required HPD inspection but resulted in no violations.
The building has experienced recurring problems with water supply and plumbing issues, particularly in October 2019 when multiple related complaints were filed. A series of violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements were documented between 2021 and 2023, though recent filings indicate no current infestation issues. The property currently has multiple active Department of Buildings violations from mid-2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018-2021, as well as a boiler inspection violation from 2019.
Noteworthy maintenance issues were identified during a 2019 inspection, including problems with plastered surfaces and paint in Unit 3R's bathroom, along with various public area maintenance requirements. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with rat activity recorded in 2024, following recent pass results in 2022 and early 2025. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, with most being resolved through inspections, the accumulation of unaddressed low-pressure inspection violations and recent rodent activity may be areas of concern for current and prospective tenants.
