631 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

631 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Janine Dobie and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water access, particularly in late 2021 and early 2022, when both entire-building and apartment-specific outages were reported and subsequently resolved, though not without affecting tenant comfort during the winter months.

Historically, in July 2018, there were complaints regarding pest-related unsanitary conditions, which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) without violations being issued. More recently, the building has maintained appropriate bedbug reporting protocols, with no reported infestations in the 2025 filing period, and has successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, indicating effective pest management and building maintenance practices. The building's record shows four consecutive years (2021-2024) of bedbug violation notices regarding annual reporting requirements, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating active infestations.

As of 2025, the property has no current bedbug infestation reports, and inspections conducted in 2024 and 2025 show no significant rodent issues, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes. While the heat and hot water outages and pest complaints in previous years indicate some maintenance challenges, the building's recent inspection history demonstrates improved conditions, with particular attention to pest management and rodent control. The most recent housing maintenance code violation notices from 2022-2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the January 2025 filing showing zero infested units.
