Augrented Insights Report for 680 Jefferson Avenue

680 Jefferson Avenue is a 4-story, 36-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by John Warren. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant recent concerns centered around pest infestations, heating issues, and safety violations. In April 2025, multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests were investigated, resulting in violations being issued to the property owner.

The building has also faced heating problems, with violations recorded in February 2025, and various maintenance issues including electrical problems and safety concerns regarding window guards in January 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for some of these complaints. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including significant violations in apartment 2F (February 2024) regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, as well as visible mold and plaster damage in apartment 4B (December 2023). A concerning pattern of pest-related issues is evident, with multiple 311 complaints about pests in 2025 and a previous bedbug infestation outbreak affecting 4 units in 2022-2023.

More recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown improved rodent control, with passed inspections recorded, though there have been periods of rat activity noted in earlier inspections. The property appears to have addressed many of its violation matters, as evidenced by the "Closed" status on several Housing Maintenance Code violations, though some ongoing issues remain, including active DOB violations regarding energy efficiency documentation and low pressure inspection filing. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and persisting issues, with particular attention needed on pest control, safety systems, and timely addressing of violations based on inspection results and violation statuses.
