307 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

307 Jefferson Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1883 and currently owned by Wallace Thompson, the property has experienced several significant compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple violations regarding failure to comply with Commissioner’s orders and certificate of correction requirements, related to unauthorized work and residence alterations.

These violations, though all now marked as "Resolved," indicate a period of regulatory non-compliance that spanned multiple months, with the Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board issuing at least nine separate violation notices during this time, all showing zero penalties imposed. The building has also faced ongoing pest management challenges, particularly concerning rodent activity. 311 service requests indicate at least one rat sighting in September 2022, which resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations and follow-up inspections.

Recent rodent inspections show a mixed record, with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing passed results, though in 2024 there were instances of failed inspections for "Other Reasons" and earlier in 2022 there were periods of rat activity noted. The property has demonstrated some improvement in pest management, as evidenced by the passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, but the presence of failed compliance inspections suggests ongoing challenges in this area. The building's regulatory history suggests a pattern of compliance issues that, while mostly resolved, indicates a need for continued attention to building maintenance and regulatory requirements.
