39 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
39 Jefferson Avenue is a four-unit, four-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Sharlie Arkins and dating back to 1930. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water system failures, with a significant incident reported in September 2022 affecting the entire building, though this was resolved within 24 hours according to HPD records.
More concerning is the pattern of open violations related to the annual bedbug report requirement, with violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024 that remain unresolved as of April 2024. The building has also faced several administrative violations in 2019 concerning safety-related notifications, including requirements for smoke detector information, building registration, inspection certificates, and gas leak procedures, though some of these violations have been closed. On a positive note, 39 Jefferson Avenue has maintained a good record during regular rodent inspections, with all ten inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 passing successfully.
The building underwent various permit work between 2018 and 2019, including plumbing and electrical work, all of which were issued and completed. While the property has demonstrated compliance with several critical safety requirements, the combination of recurring heat/hot water issues and unresolved bedbug report violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's most recent inspections and permits indicate that while some historical issues have been addressed, certain recurring compliance matters remain outstanding.
