241 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

241 Jefferson Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 located in Bushwick, currently owned by Joel Lefkowitz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 3R, with multiple documented water-related problems including leaks and heavy flow incidents between late 2023 and 2024. The building has also faced electrical issues, with several complaints about lighting problems and outlet concerns, some classified as emergencies.

Recent inspections in May 2024 resulted in Class A and B violations related to water leaks and damaged plaster in Apartment 3R, along with safety concerns including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A plumbing-related inspection in February 2025 was unable to be completed by HPD. The building's maintenance history shows both persistent water issues and electrical system concerns, though all recent housing maintenance code violations have been marked as closed.

In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a good record with no bedbug infestation reports since 2020, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed passed results, though there were instances of rat activity reported in 2022. A concerning building stability complaint was filed in December 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs over the years, with particular focus on ceiling and wall conditions, roof leaks, and various infrastructure systems. The building's age, combined with the documented maintenance history, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems that require regular attention.
