627 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

627 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1899 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Darryl Inman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, with a particularly notable cluster of violations and complaints in early 2019. During February-March 2019, multiple complaints were documented regarding flooring/stairs, windows, doors, ceilings, and plumbing issues, with specific violations noted for window frames, plaster conditions, and bathtub/shower problems.

These complaints resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment, including orders to address pest infestations (roaches and mice), electrical service issues, and water fixture problems, all of which were eventually certified as corrected by mid-2019. More recently, the building has had consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2023, showing zero infested units in each annual report. The most recent bedbug report from 2023 covers the period from November 2021 to October 2022.

The building's condition appears to have stabilized since the 2019 violations, with recent rodent inspections (2025, 2024, 2022) showing consistent passing results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2017. Currently, there remains an open violation from April 2024 related to the requirement to file an annual bedbug report, though similar violations from previous years (2019-2023) have been closed. The building's management has demonstrated recent compliance with pest control measures, as evidenced by the regular bedbug reporting and successful rodent inspection results.
