134 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

134 Jefferson Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Eric Setton. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns regarding water damage and pest control. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of water leaks in 2024-2025, including both slow and heavy flow issues, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The building has also faced recurring rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2023 and 2025, and the most recent inspections in July 2025 confirming ongoing rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows significant attention to heating and water system issues, particularly in 2022, when several emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems in apartments. There have been two notable violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022 and one in 2022 that remains open.

The elevator maintenance record indicates missed inspections in 2019, though these violations were later dismissed. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent filings (2022-2025), the persistent water leakage issues, rodent infestation, and historical heating problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections and treatment efforts (2025) indicate active measures are being taken to address the pest control issues, though the recurrence of these problems suggests they have not been fully resolved.
