1043 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1043 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ramin Daniel, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. In September 2020, the building faced multiple water-related concerns, with three separate complaints regarding damp spots and mold, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) did not result in any violations being issued.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2022 and 2024, showing zero infested or re-infested units across three annual filings, it experienced some regulatory compliance challenges between 2021 and 2023, receiving three Class A violations for not filing the required annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has shown mixed results in terms of rodent control, with an initial inspection in August 2022 reporting rat activity, but passing subsequent inspections in October 2022, April 2024, and April 2025.

Building improvement efforts can be traced back to the issuance of multiple permits in mid-2018 for exterior work and plumbing modifications, suggesting proactive maintenance by the ownership. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection from March 2023 resulted in a bedbug reporting violation, marking the completion of a three-year period during which the building maintained a bug-free status according to official filings. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent inspections have shown consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, and the absence of recent bedbug issues suggests improved pest management in recent years.
