246 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

246 Jefferson Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Guy Shor. The property has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 when two concerning incidents were recorded regarding building structure and stability. These included complaints of "Building Under Structural Monitoring" and "Building Shaking/Vibrating/Structural Stability Affected" in April 2023, which resulted in violations regarding facade disrepair, including missing ornamental stone and exposed holes.

While an engineer's report was eventually submitted, the violation remained active as of late 2023. The building also experienced roof-related issues in early 2024 and had a heat/hot water problem in late 2022, though both of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any unit since at least 2019, based on the most recent 2024-2025 bedbug report.

Similarly, rodent inspections have shown improvement, with the most recent inspections in 2025 recording "Passed" results, though there were some failures noted in 2023 for rat activity and other reasons. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various issues as they arise, with most complaints being resolved in a timely manner, though some structural concerns from 2023 remain notable, particularly regarding facade maintenance and stability.
