334 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-unit building at 334 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by John Hutson, was constructed in 1889 and has undergone a conversion to Class A status. The property has maintained a generally good record in recent years, successfully passing multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing compliance.

However, there are several notable ongoing issues, including four open violations dating back to 2021-2024 related to failing to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. The building has experienced some service-related incidents, particularly in November 2020 when both heat/hot water and mailbox-related complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

In both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification, and the complaints were closed with instructions to refile if the issues persisted. Additionally, there was a complaint in May 2022 regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, but the inspection was marked as unable to gain access on the second attempt in July 2022. While the building's overall maintenance record shows attention to basic requirements, the repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements and the 2020 service complaints suggest some areas where responsive actions have been challenging to verify through inspection access.
