274 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

274 Jefferson Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Class A building constructed in 2012 and currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The property has experienced recurring plumbing and heating issues, with recent complaints about toilet problems in 2023 and heat/hot water issues in 2022, though inspections did not reveal any violations. Between 2018 and 2020, several significant building code violations were documented, including unauthorized alterations involving illegal bedroom conversions, bathroom and kitchen relocations, and concerns about balcony structures.

The building faced regulatory scrutiny in 2019 for multiple illegal activity complaints and compliance audits. Notable safety violations from 2018 included improper locking mechanisms at the front entrance and missing gas leak procedure postings. The building's recent maintenance history shows some persistent challenges.

While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since 2018, rodent activity appears to be a recurring issue, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The property has undergone various inspection processes, including Local Law Audits and construction inspections, with some violations being resolved through penalties, though certain construction-related violations remain active as of the latest records. The building's environmental record shows no bedbug infestations in recent years, though there have been periodic rodent issues that have required attention. Recent DOB inspections in 2022-2023 have generally not resulted in significant violations, suggesting some improvement in overall compliance.
