892 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

892 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Audrey Rochester. Constructed in 1905, this historically significant building has experienced several recent pest-related issues that warrant attention.

Most notably, as of July 2024, the property is facing ongoing rodent concerns, with a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection in July 2024 identifying conditions attracting rodents, though the specific resolution details indicate violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has also experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though the 2022 reporting period indicated no actual infestations occurred between November 2020 and October 2021. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of fluctuating conditions, with the most recent inspections in 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, while prior inspections in 2024 showed both "Passed" and "Rat Activity" results.

The property has demonstrated occasional challenges with maintaining pest control compliance and reporting requirements, though there have been periods of successful inspections with no recorded violations. The year 2022 appeared to be a particularly notable point for compliance issues, with multiple citations for failure to file bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have persisted into 2024. The building's current inspection records suggest some improvement in rodent conditions as of May 2025, but the historical pattern indicates this remains an area requiring monitoring.
