1039 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit, three-story brick tenement building at 1039 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Lisa Henry, has a significant record of pest control issues and compliance requirements over the past several years. Most notably, the building has outstanding violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations for the years 2021 through 2024, which remain open as of the latest inspection in April 2024. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints documented through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2019 and 2022, though recent inspections have shown improvement in rodent control.
The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 both passed, suggesting some progress in pest management. The building's pest control history includes several instances of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, particularly between 2019 and 2022. While earlier complaints between 2020 and 2021 were resolved through inspections that found no violations, the property experienced two consecutive instances of rat activity in August 2022.
Following these incidents, subsequent inspections in October 2022 and beyond showed improved compliance, with all inspections passing through 2025. The property's age (built in 1910) and its classification as an "Old Law Tenement" are consistent with typical housing maintenance challenges faced by similar buildings in New York City. The pattern of violations suggests an ongoing need for diligent pest management and compliance with housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting.
