191 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

191 Jefferson Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by George Nunez. The building, constructed in 1899, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to the first-floor apartment (1A) where multiple violations were documented in late 2023, including water temperature issues over 130 degrees, cabinet problems, plaster/paint defects, and signs of rodent infestation. Historical patterns indicate ongoing concerns with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by separate service requests in 2021 and 2023, though inspections did not result in violations.

The building has also faced challenges with water leaks, visible mold conditions, and various maintenance and repair needs across different apartments, as documented in HPD and DOB records. Recent inspection activity shows the building has been subjected to multiple Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2023-2024, with several instances of inspectors being unable to gain access. While rodent infestation has been a documented concern in 2023-2024, recent inspections have consistently passed.

The property has experienced various violations related to building maintenance, including issues with water leaks, ceiling damage, and mold in multiple apartments. Notably, there were certain regulatory compliance issues around 2020-2021 involving unauthorized work and stop work orders, though these were eventually resolved. The building's owners have maintained regular bedbug reporting updates, consistently showing no infested units. Recent permit activity (2018-2022) suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance and improvements.
