309 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
309 Jefferson Street is an 8-unit, 4-story tenement building constructed in 1902, currently owned by David Grunfeld, located in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, most notably a persistent rodent problem, with multiple rodent sighting complaints reported in 2023 and ongoing rat activity confirmed in inspections throughout 2024-2025, including recent inspections in April 2025.
The building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with official reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units, and the most recent report in June 2025 confirmed no current infestations. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, when multiple safety-related violations were documented, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, doors, and fire escape access. These violations were eventually addressed, with certifications of correction issued in 2023.
The building also experienced a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in February 2022, though this was reportedly resolved promptly. Earlier violations from 2019 highlighted problems with a defective fire escape, an unauthorized wooden staircase, and improperly installed air conditioning units, all of which were subsequently addressed. Comprehensive rat control measures have been implemented, with multiple bait applications and inspections over the past year, though rat activity continues to be documented in recent inspections.
