443 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 443 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, there were complaints about heating and water supply problems, though these inspections either could not gain access to the apartments or did not find violations.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in October 2020 in apartment 2L, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, plumbing concerns, and various deficiencies in walls and ceilings, though these were subsequently closed. The building has a documented history of heat/hot water issues, with violations in 2018 and 2025, and multiple complaints regarding appliance problems, particularly with electric/gas ranges in 2020. The property underwent some controversial construction work in 2018, resulting in three Environmental Control Board violations against "New Asian Construction" for working without proper permits and lacking necessary insurance documentation, though these were resolved with paid penalties.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with no reported infestations in bedbug reports between 2018-2024 and three passed rodent inspections in 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2024. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero affected units. While there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and housing violations, the management has generally responded to and closed these complaints, with the exception of those cases where apartment access was not granted for inspection.
