251 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 251 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1886 and currently owned by Whitfield Haywood, has experienced recurring compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has consistently failed to file the required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection report, and another unaddressed violation from April 2019. On a positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record in rodent control and prevention, passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and July 2025.
These inspections, which occurred biannually, consistently showed that the property met the necessary health and safety standards regarding rodent activity. While the persistent bedbug report filing violations suggest ongoing administrative oversights, the successful rodent control record indicates that the building management has been attentive to other critical health and safety matters.
