207 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, five-unit building at 207 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Rosalyn Ali-Jarvis and constructed in 1887, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety challenges over the past several years. Most concerning is the building's current status with external low-pressure inspection violations, with active violations issued in mid-2023 for failure to file inspections for 2020, 2021, and 2022. Between 2018-2021, there were multiple documented pest control issues, including bedbug infestations, rodent problems, and cockroach infestations, particularly affecting the second floor Apartment 4.
While more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate zero current infestations, the building has experienced recurring rat activity, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing passing results, though previous inspections in 2024 revealed rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing need for attention to building systems and safety compliance. In 2019, there was a notable violation regarding improper storage in the boiler room and ventilation issues, which resulted in a $312 penalty.
The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no infested units and six eradicated units. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvement in pest control, though the building's history indicates these issues were more prevalent in previous years. The building's overall age and history of various maintenance challenges suggest ongoing attention to building systems and pest control remains necessary, though recent inspection results indicate some progress in addressing these issues.
