1055 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1055 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1915 in Bushwick, currently owned by Yaakov Nektalov. The building has faced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being two open Class A violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, which remain unresolved.

In July 2022, multiple violations were recorded including a Class C violation regarding defective or missing self-closing doors to the rear yard from the cellar, and several Class B violations related to safety concerns such as obstructions in egress routes from fire escapes, including auxiliary cables and household articles on various story balconies. Other notable issues from 2022 include a broken wire glass pane at the third-story skylight, a need to repair or replace defective doors, and concerns about unauthorized alterations in the third-story public hall. The building has experienced some pest-related issues in the past, including a rat sighting in 2019 and a water supply issue that could not be inspected at that time.

However, more recent inspections show improvement in some areas, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 all passing. The building's bedbug situation appears to have been stable in the 2019-2020 reporting period, with no infested units reported. While recent rodent inspections show passing results, the open bedbug reporting violations and various safety-related issues from 2022 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect common areas and safety features of the building.
