144 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 7-unit, 3-story building at 144 Lefferts Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moshe Deutsch, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2022. Most concerning are the recent heat and hot water problems, with complaints filed in April 2025 and January 2024, both resulting in closed cases due to lack of access for inspection. The building has also faced challenges with water leaks, evidenced by multiple complaints in 2022-2023, and pest-related issues, including unsanitary conditions reported in 2022 and 2023.
A particular cluster of violations was documented in mid-2024, including unsafe hot water temperatures in multiple apartments (1F and 2F), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues requiring attention. The building's infrastructure requires ongoing attention, as demonstrated by a 2024 Department of Buildings violation regarding an unfiled external low-pressure inspection from 2018. More positively, recent rodent inspections from 2025 and late 2024 passed, following earlier issues in 2023.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports from 2022-2024 showing zero affected units. While some building systems show improvement, the pattern of heat/hot water and leak-related complaints suggests persistent challenges in maintaining basic residential services. The situation warrants monitoring to ensure continued compliance with housing maintenance standards.
