125 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 125 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Maurice Kohan, was constructed in 2016 and has generally maintained good basic conditions. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, all of which have passed successfully, indicating effective pest management.

The building had three recent HPD complaints in 2024 related to door/window issues, including a window pane problem (emergency) in September and door-related issues in July, though inspectors were unable to gain access for the window inspection, and the door complaint resulted in violations. The most significant recent developments occurred during an October 2024 inspection, resulting in multiple violations that, while generally administrative in nature, are worth noting for resident safety and comfort. These included requirements for proper notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, heating system access, gas leak procedures, and building registration information.

An additional B-class violation related to a defective latch set on the cellar hallway door was recorded. A subsequent HPD inspection in October 2024 also revealed a C-class violation for a different self-closing door issue. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), showing zero infested units, and has consistently passed rodent inspections through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures and maintaining a relatively recent construction standard.
