397 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

397 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and has been under the ownership of Erin Pastrana since 1915. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2021 and 2019-2020, showing no instances of infestation during these periods, with records indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in both reports.

However, the building has incurred recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024, following a pattern of similar violations in 2022 and 2021 (which were subsequently closed). These ongoing bedbug report violations, most recently from April 2024, represent the building's only significant housing maintenance violations on record.

The building has maintained a positive track record in terms of pest control, having successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2024, all of which were initial inspections. While the bedbug report violations are noteworthy, it's important to note that the building appears to maintain an effective pest control program, as evidenced by the consistent "passed" results in rodent inspections and the absence of documented bedbug infestations during the mandated reporting periods.
