193 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story Old Law Tenement building at 193 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by 189-191-193 Jefferson LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues between 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in January 2024, with some violations confirmed through inspections despite difficulty accessing units.

The building has also experienced recurring issues with its intercom system and electrical outlets, with three separate complaints in 2025 alone. In early 2024, Apartment 4B had multiple violations identified during inspections, including issues with paint, missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, while general maintenance violations were noted in the fourth-floor bulkhead area. The building's rodent control history shows a pattern of rat activity, with incidents reported in January and July 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvement with passed results.

There was also a COVID-19-related stop work order issued in July 2020, which was subsequently resolved. The property's bedbug reporting history indicates a fluctuating pattern of infestations between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing zero infested units, following previous reports of 1, 7, and 3 infested units in earlier periods. Construction-related permits have been consistently issued over the past several years, with multiple permits granted between 2019 and 2021 for various types of work including alteration and plumbing, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
