466 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 466 Jefferson Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Roay and built in 1899, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of unaddressed bedbug reporting violations, with no annual bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024, as documented in four open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations.

The building underwent significant construction activity in 2019, which led to a $625 fine for work performed without the proper permits, though this violation was later downgraded. Multiple permits were subsequently issued between 2019 and 2021 for various types of work, including plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and alteration (AL) projects. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly in 2016 when rat activity was confirmed during inspections in May and August, followed by bait applications in September.

However, more recent rodent inspections in December 2019, October 2022, and June 2024 have all passed, suggesting improved pest control measures. In 2019, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted work being conducted throughout the building, though this was eventually resolved with a fully rescinded stop work order. While the building has seen various repairs and maintenance under approved permits, the persistent bedbug reporting violations and historical rodent problems, particularly during 2016, warrant attention to the building's maintenance history.
