Augrented Insights Report for 116 Jefferson Avenue

116 Jefferson Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Joe Central Brooklyn Llc. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a heating/hot water problem reported in January 2025 that resulted in HPD violations.

During October 2023, the property faced multiple maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions related to pests (with violations issued), plumbing issues affecting sinks and radiators, and problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings. The building has two apartments with identified violations requiring attention: Apartment 1A (notably had issues with a shower head, kitchen cabinets, and a roach infestation in October 2023) and Apartment 2B (with multiple open violations from September 2023 including problems with a sink, missing smoke detector, and various plaster/paint issues). Recent rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with multiple instances of rat activity identified between September 2023 and January 2025, though the most recent inspections in December 2024 and May 2025 passed.

The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past several years, as evidenced by multiple reports showing zero infested units since 2021. The Department of Buildings has two closed complaints on record - one from 2020 regarding work without permits (though inspector couldn't gain access) and an audit from 2021 with no violations found. A permit was issued in August 2020, but specific details of the work performed were not provided in the available data.
