353 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

353 Jefferson Avenue is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 2013 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Nicholas Scott. The building has experienced several pest-related issues over the past decade, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2024 showing a passing result, following a pattern of improvements since multiple rodent sightings were reported in 2021, including both mouse and rat incidents.

Historical records show consistent attention to rodent management, with bait application in late 2014 and inspections revealing varying levels of rodent activity during 2014 through 2021. The building currently has four active open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with these violations dating from April 2021 through April 2024.

This pattern of missed reporting requirements suggests ongoing challenges with pest management documentation compliance. The most recent rodent inspection results and the absence of new rodent complaints since early 2022 may indicate improved rodent management practices, though potential residents should be aware of the building's historical pest management challenges. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations requires attention, though these are administrative rather than directly affecting habitability.
