374 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 374 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Anastasia Burlyuk and constructed in 1905, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints, with the most recent being a condition-attracting-rodents complaint filed in July 2021, and earlier incidents in 2019 involving both rat sightings and signs of rodents, which typically prompted inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, particularly evident in April 2019 when multiple complaints regarding water supply issues were filed and required the attention of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though inspections ultimately resulted in no violations being issued. More recently, there was an electrical power outage in March 2021 that required HPD intervention, though no violations were found in the subsequent investigation.

On a positive note, the building has been free of bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for both the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 reporting periods. While the historical complaints suggest occasional maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pests and basic utilities, the absence of recent bedbug issues and the resolution of past complaints (even with no violations found) indicates some level of responsiveness to maintenance concerns, though the pattern of rodent-related complaints suggests this remains an ongoing challenge.
