764 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

764 Jefferson Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently managed by Jeferson Apts Ny LLC. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open complaint filed in April 2025 regarding lead dust in common areas. There was a significant heat and hot water system failure in February 2025 that affected multiple tenants and prompted multiple complaints, though many inspections could not be completed due to lack of access.

The building's mechanical systems have shown persistent problems, including three separate boiler-related complaints between October 2024 and January 2025, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify the issues. Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in unit 4L, which has documented issues with multiple electrical outlets. The building has also faced larger systemic problems, as evidenced by three active violations for failure to file required boiler inspection reports (2017, 2018, and 2023).

Environmental concerns have been documented, including mold issues in March 2025 and various plumbing problems. The property's rodent inspections show a history of rat activity between 2022-2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. Notably, the building has maintained a clear record regarding bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in the past five years of documentation. While many previous violations have been addressed and closed, including various electrical, plumbing, and structural issues, the persistence of certain mechanical system problems and the current lead dust complaint suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
