268 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

268 Jefferson Street is a three-story, six-unit apartment building constructed in 1931, currently owned by West Bushwick 203k HDFC. The building has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues over the past two years, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, particularly pest infestations, between 2023 and 2024.

Most recently, in October 2024, there were inspections conducted for door/window issues and pest problems, though inspectors found no housing law violations in one case, while another resulted in violations requiring correction. The building has also shown ongoing concerns with water-related issues, including a damp spot reported in September 2023, which remains listed as "In Progress." Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five filing periods (2019-2024), suggesting effective management of this particular issue.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all passing results recorded between 2019 and 2025, indicating successful pest management in this area. Historical violations from 2021 have been addressed, including repairs to plastered surfaces and paint in Apartment 1A, though more recent violations from 2024 remain open, specifically regarding a roach infestation in the first-story public hall and a defective entrance door latch. The frequency of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges, though the building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements and has demonstrated capability to address various maintenance issues as they arise.
