1049 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1049 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Alex Espinosa. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report in December 2024 showing no infested or previously infested units, following a consistent pattern of infestation-free reports since 2021.

The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding safety inspections, with recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing successfully, though there were some periods of rodent activity requiring bait application between 2022 and early 2023. Reviewing the building's historical violations from 1987 provides insight into past maintenance issues, including problems with self-closing doors, a missing junction box cover in the boiler room, and various maintenance concerns in Apartment 2 such as defective plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and door knob issues.

External maintenance needs were documented in 1987 regarding cement steps from the front entrance and a door problem in the vestibule. All these historical violations were ultimately closed, with some being certified as corrected in 2018. While the building has had periodic maintenance issues over the years, the more recent focus on bedbug reporting compliance and successful rodent inspections suggests improved management attention to compliance requirements, though the pattern of rodent activity and bait application between 2022-2023 indicates ongoing challenges in this area.
