147 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 5-unit, 4-story building at 147 Lefferts Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Bernice Nathan, has experienced several maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly between 2018 and 2019. During October 2018, multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints were filed, including issues with plumbing (affecting sinks and radiators), door problems, and concerns about mailboxes and building intercoms. In late 2018, there were also reports of unsanitary conditions and pest problems.

While these issues were closed in December 2018, similar concerns re-emerged in subsequent years, as evidenced by recurring violations of the Housing Maintenance Code related to bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, though more recently, bedbug reports indicate no current infestations or eradicated units. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with most inspections passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2024 and 2023, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. As of 2024/2025, the building's bedbug reporting shows no current infestations, representing an improvement from previous years.

The most recent violation for failure to submit annual bedbug reports was recorded in 2024, but it appears to have been corrected in subsequent filings. An inspection in April 2025 passed, indicating compliance with current rodent control requirements. While the building's maintenance history shows periods of significant issues, there appears to be gradual improvement in pest management and compliance with reporting requirements, though some maintenance concerns from 2018 remain notable in terms of historical context.
