75 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 75 Jefferson Street in Bushwick, owned by Isaac Weiss and built in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Most concerning is a pattern of rodent activity, with the latest rat sightings documented in 2025, and multiple compliance inspections revealing persistent vermin problems between 2023 and 2025.

The building has also faced significant habitability issues, including a recent mold problem reported in May 2025, which resulted in HPD violations, and an emergency water leak situation from September 2022 that remained unaddressed for several months. Additional infrastructure concerns have been documented, including electrical problems (no lighting) and intercom system issues, both of which were reported in September 2022 and closed in June 2023 due to inspection access issues. The property has several open violations regarding the timely filing of annual external low-pressure inspections, with records showing non-compliance from 2018 through at least 2024.

While the building has not reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), indicating successful management of this pest issue, the ongoing maintenance violations present a pattern of maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows an in-process plumbing permit filed in 2018, though no further details on its status were provided in the available data. Despite these challenges, it should be noted that all documented violations, when compared to their original complaint dates, have been addressed through proper channels, even if some issues took longer to resolve than ideally expected.
