141 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

141 Lefferts Place is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and owned by Charles Rocco Greene. The structure, built in 1931, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues over the past seven years, with the most significant concerns revolving around heating and hot water systems. In 2018, both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code violations were filed regarding heat and hot water issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problems.

More recently, from 2021 through 2024, the building has accumulated multiple open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, which is technically a compliance violation rather than a direct threat to resident safety. Additional maintenance issues were documented between 2018-2020, primarily affecting apartment 2R, including problems with water leaks, ceiling and wall conditions, hot water access, and self-closing doors. The building has undergone various inspections and faced some structural concerns, particularly in 2020 when there were reports of building shaking and stability issues, though the Department of Buildings did not find violations at the time of inspection.

A significant structural violation related to damage sustained to a party wall was documented in 2020 but was ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained relatively good pest control standards in recent years, with all rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 passing, except for one instance in April 2022 when rat activity was noted. In 2023, there was a Construction Safety Compliance violation regarding viewing panels in a job site fence that was resolved and showed no penalties. The building's most recent inspections continue to show open violations primarily related to compliance issues rather than immediate safety concerns, suggesting ongoing challenges with regulatory filings and building management requirements.
