233 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 233 Jefferson Street in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm and dating back to 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past three years. Most concerning are the recurring plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple complaints about water supply issues, leaks, and heat/hot water service in 2023 alone, including an April 2023 violation regarding excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in Unit 3R.
The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations in late 2022, leading to Health Department involvement regarding rodent sightings. More recent inspection records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications and evidence of rat activity throughout 2024, though a February 2025 compliance inspection for rodents resulted in a "Passed" status. Other maintenance issues have included door/window problems (notably documented in November 2022 and April 2023), and various plumbing and sanitary concerns in multiple units.
However, it's worth noting that many of the HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints from 2022-2023 were closed without issued violations following inspections. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases in the annual reports from 2022 through 2024. A single electrical wiring complaint from 2021 was also investigated but found no warrant for violations.
