386 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
386 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Livingstone Buchanan and constructed in 1900. The property, classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" building, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety compliance issues over the past several years.
Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of violations regarding bedbug report filing requirements from 2021 through 2024, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021 all referencing the failure to submit the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. The building has also faced significant challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing either rat activity or the need for bait application.
Specifically, compliance inspections in March and November 2024, along with January 2025, documented rat activity, while several bait applications were required between December 2024 and May 2025. In addition, the property has an ongoing series of open Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with citations issued from 2018 through 2024 for failing to submit required inspection reports, including a 2024 violation for not filing the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. There's also a historical maintenance issue from 2018 involving electrical wiring that required inspection, though the inspector was unable to gain access.
