179 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
179 Jefferson Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Shloma Stuhl and constructed in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building has experienced several concerning quality-of-life issues in recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025, when a heat and hot water outage affected the entire building. This followed an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests in August 2024, which was not fully investigated due to access issues, and a January 2023 complaint related to garbage/recycling storage that resulted in no violations.
The property has demonstrated ongoing struggles with rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024 showing rat activity, though passing inspections were recorded in October 2023 and February 2025. The building's record shows some regulatory compliance issues, including two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no infested units. Additional concerns were noted in 2018 regarding the improper placement of inspection certificates and gas leak procedures, both of which were subsequently corrected.
While the building has successfully addressed some issues over time, such as structural violations, the recurring nature of heating, rodent, and sanitation complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent rodent control efforts in 2023-2024 included bait application, indicating active management attempts to address this persistent issue. The property's history shows periods of both regulatory compliance and recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services and pest control.
