76 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

76 Jefferson Street is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Jhovanny Gomez. The property has experienced recurring water damage issues, with active violations noted in both 2024 and 2022 regarding water intrusion and unsafe conditions potentially leading to mold problems, particularly related to construction activity at the adjacent property at 78 Jefferson Street. This building has a significant history of rodent activity, with inspections from 2022 to 2025 showing multiple instances of rat activity, though some recent inspections have passed.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report from February 2024 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, and previous reports in 2021 and 2022 had similarly recorded no infestations. The Department of Buildings has investigated several complaints in 2024 regarding building shaking, unauthorized work, and excavation concerns, with violations served for building stability issues, though most complaints were found to have no violations warranting action. The property's recent history shows some improvement in rodent control measures, with some inspections passing without rat activity, though the presence of rat activity remains a notable concern.

While bedbug reporting compliance has been maintained, the recurring water damage issues and recent stability concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and relatively recent construction status (built in 2008) might be expected to provide certain modern safety features, though the water damage and rodent issues indicate some lapses in building maintenance protocols. The property's location in an area undergoing construction (as evidenced by complaints in 2024 regarding adjacent work) suggests potential for ongoing environmental changes affecting the building.
