326 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

326 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Orim Graves. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints documented in February and October 2022 regarding problems affecting the entire building, though these were later resolved.

More recently, in January 2024, there was a Department of Health investigation into indoor air quality concerns related to chemical vapors, which resulted in no violation but an advisory to management. Two significant violations remain open as of April 2024, related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports - these violations were initially documented in March 2023. The building's history shows several concerning issues affecting Apartment 3 (third floor), particularly during 2018, including problems with lead-based paint hazards, dangerously high water temperatures (at 168°F), missing window guards, heating system deficiencies, and an illegal locking device on the entrance door.

While these violations have seemingly not persisted, the building's maintenance record shows some concerns about building systems and safety features. However, it's worth noting that recent inspections for rodent issues (all passed from 2022 to 2025) suggest active management of pest control, despite an initial failure in 2020. The building's current bedbug infestation status appears stable, with no infested units reported in the last two annual filings (2019-2020 and 2020-2021).
