320 Jefferson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

320 Jefferson Street in Bushwick is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The building has experienced several significant infrastructure challenges, with a notable cluster of heat, hot water, and electrical issues in December 2020, including power outages and inadequate heating affecting multiple units and requiring emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Although these violations were eventually resolved, the building has continued to face maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple outstanding violations from an August 2022 inspection, including issues with smoke detectors, roof leaks, plaster surfaces, and stairwell fire safety features.

More recent inspections in 2024 have shown some improvements, with a current outstanding violation related to the certificate of inspection posting near mailboxes and a historical violation concerning bedbug reporting requirements. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results indicating periods of rat activity between 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the past three years.

Recent 311 complaints in 2022 and 2019 have been addressed, including issues with garbage and recycling storage, though no violations were found in the most recent inspection. The building has also experienced periodic issues with building security and safety systems, including problems with doors, locks, and stairwell conditions as documented in various HPD inspections. While some of these violations have been resolved, others remain open as of the latest available data, suggesting ongoing maintenance requirements for the property.
