372 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

372 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1905 and currently owned by Lisa Lew. The property has a documented history of pest-related issues, with the most recent 311 complaint about pest problems received in October 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building has experienced recurring bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with the most recent reports showing no active infestations, though records indicate previous issues in 2019 and 2020 with two and one infested units respectively.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most concerning recent activity showing "Rat Activity" in March 2024, with bait application noted in December 2023. Significant building-wide safety concerns were documented during a July 2018 inspection, including issues with fire egress, encumbrances in public hallways, and requirements for various safety notices regarding heating systems and building codes. The building has maintained compliance with most housing maintenance codes since these violations were addressed, though there has been a recurring requirement to file annual bedbug reports.

Recent inspections have primarily focused on rodent control measures, with several instances of rat activity and bait application noted throughout 2023-2024. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent bedbug reports indicate successful eradication of that particular issue, at least temporarily. While many historical violations have been addressed, the recurring nature of pest control issues and rodent activity suggests these remain areas requiring attention.
