Augrented Insights Report for 488 Jefferson Avenue

488 Jefferson Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Dianne Petersen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns in 2023-2024. Notable problems included multiple violations in January 2024 involving electrical systems, heat/hot water issues, and pest infestation in apartment 3L, along with multiple cases of water leaks affecting ceilings in January 2024 that required repairs.

In June 2023, there were reports of heavy water flow and pest issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to these areas. The building also had notable violations related to unsafe conditions, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3L, inadequate electrical service, and various window repairs needed in 2024. Recent health and safety inspections have shown some improvement, with rodent inspections in 2024 passing after previous failures, including rat activity reports in both 2011 and 2019.

The building's bedbug reporting has consistently shown zero infestations over the past three reporting periods (2020-2024). The property has undergone various inspections through the Department of Buildings, with most complaints resulting in no violations; however, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2024, there have been efforts to address these problems, as evidenced by the closure of numerous complaints and violations following repairs and inspections.
