1041 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1041 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bushwick, built in 1915 and currently owned by Cynthia Ramirez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple uninspected complaints due to lack of access for HPD inspectors, including reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, door issues, and appliance problems (both electric/gas range and cooking gas concerns).

Water-related issues have been prominent, with multiple complaints in 2023 including both slow and heavy leaks, some of which resulted in violations. A significant inspection in October 2023 revealed several violations in Apartment 1, including problems with water leaks in the kitchen ceiling, broken plastered surfaces, missing electrical outlet cover plates, and defective caulking around the bathtub, though these were classified as "B" violations and were later closed. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and persistent issues, with water-related problems being particularly notable.

However, more recent inspections and complaints suggest some improvement, as the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, and the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past four years. The property has undergone regular HPD inspections, typically resulting in no violations or closed complaints, though several recent complaints have been closed without inspection due to access issues. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water damage and appliance issues, the most recent housing inspections show no active violations as of October 2023.
