325 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-story, 8-unit building at 325 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns involving heat and hot water outages throughout the building in February 2025, and multiple water leak incidents. Between 2022 and 2023, there were three documented instances of water leaks categorized as "heavy flow," with at least one leak affecting the kitchen area in Basement Apartment BF, which has ongoing open violations related to water damage, plaster repair, and door issues.

The building has also faced consistent heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants in 2022 and most recently in February 2025, some of which could not be fully investigated due to access issues. Additionally, the property has rodent inspection results showing consistent passing marks from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective rodent management, and there appear to be no active bedbug infestations, as evidenced by recent bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2021.

However, the building has three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. Historical records show various maintenance issues were addressed between 2022 and 2024, including electrical repairs, sprinkler system inspections, and interior condition improvements, though some complaints resulted in violations being issued for conditions that required correction, particularly regarding ceiling repair and water leak abatement in Basement Apartment BF.
