Augrented Insights Report for 185 Jefferson Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 185 Jefferson Street in Bushwick, owned by Jefferson Vip Partners, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building suffered fire damage in apartment 3R that was documented in a September 2024 inspection, though this violation was later closed. The property currently has multiple open violations as of September 2024, including issues with roof decking and asphalt material, a defective bulkhead door, missing handsets at the entrance, and inadequate posting of required inspection certificates and registration information.

Between 2020 and 2024, the building experienced recurring sewage problems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" as recently as 2025, though the most recent inspection in February 2025 passed. While the bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show zero infestation cases, the building has had issues with compliance reporting requirements, as evidenced by violations noted in 2020 related to gas leak procedures and housing information notices. The building's intercom system requires attention, with a service request in February 2025 being addressed but not confirmed as fully resolved.

The property has demonstrated significant maintenance challenges particularly regarding its roof, bulkhead access, and sanitation systems. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and violations being closed, several open violations remain as of 2024 that require ongoing attention. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of addressing but not fully resolving various infrastructure and safety concerns, with recent complaints and violations indicating that some systems and maintenance procedures are in need of improvement. The presence of recurring rodent activity, despite passing inspections, suggests this remains an ongoing concern, as indicated by multiple rat activity findings in inspections between 2023 and 2025.
