82 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 24-unit, 5-story residential building at 82 Jefferson Street in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its 2015 construction. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related problems, including two slow leak complaints in 2023 and 2021, and a recent heat/hot water complaint in June 2025 where inspectors were denied access to investigate. The building has also faced several sanitation-related issues, including a mold complaint in late 2024 and an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage complaint in 2022, though inspections showed no violations in these cases.

Infrastructure concerns are evidenced by violations in 2024-2025 for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1B, and a 2021 violation for defective bathroom plaster and paint in Apartment 3A, both of which have been addressed according to records. The property has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs since 2022, with only one reported case in 2019-2020 that was eradicated, and no recent infestations reported. Regular rodent inspections have been consistently passed since 2019, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing no violations.

While the building has had several emergency and non-emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), inspections typically found no violations warranting formal penalties. The building's management has generally addressed identified issues, as evidenced by the closure of violations and complaints, though the recent heat/hot water complaint suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has active Department of Buildings violations from 2018 and 2020, though specific details were not provided in the available records.
