Augrented Insights Report for 254 Jefferson Avenue

254 Jefferson Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1889 and currently owned by Curtis Haywood. The building has a concerning history of rodent problems, with multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025 showing persistent rat activity, including recent complaints in May 2025 about dust from construction and ongoing rodent issues. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023, including multiple heat and hot water complaints (with some designated as emergencies), plumbing issues, and electrical problems.

Notably, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024, including requirements to address mold conditions, repair smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and file annual bedbug reports. The building's history includes some serious concerns about safety systems, with violations noted for defective smoke detectors and missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 6. Recent building inspection records from 2025 show some work without proper permits, though inspections did not find violations at those times.

The property has a documented pattern of pest control efforts, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections in 2025 showing ongoing rodent activity. While some inspection results from 2023-2025 show no violations were issued, including checks for heat/hot water issues and various maintenance complaints, the frequency of service requests and compliance checks suggests persistent maintenance and pest control challenges. The building's systems have undergone some modifications, as evidenced by a 2020 violation for unpermitted electrical work, though subsequent inspections in 2025 found no violations related to this complaint.
