314 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

314 Jefferson Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Solomon Jacobs. The building, constructed in 1931, has exhibited several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns arising between April and June 2025. During this period, multiple safety violations were documented, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, for which HPD issued violations requiring correction.

Additional emergency issues recorded in 2025 involved electrical outlet problems, window frame concerns, and door-related issues. An inspection in December 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 3L related to plaster surfaces, paint, ceiling repairs, and window maintenance, all of which were later certified as corrected. The building has maintained a relatively stable bedbug-free record from 2021 to 2025, with all reporting periods showing zero infested units. Rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 have shown a mixed pattern, with most inspections passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in November and December 2024.

Historical complaints indicate some building maintenance challenges, including an emergency violation for door issues that was later closed. The property has also experienced intermittent issues with building security systems, including a December 2024 violation for a defective entrance door locking device. While the building has had several violations requiring correction, most recent inspections indicate active management of these issues, with many violations being certified as corrected through proper procedures. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to safety systems, with multiple inspections triggering violation notices particularly focusing on alarm systems and entrance security.
