1035 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1035 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bushwick, owned by Mouhamadou Diop and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple heat and hot water complaints emerged in February, leading to both emergency and non-emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints. These heating system problems were ultimately addressed, though they resulted in violations.

The property has also faced pest-related challenges, with an August 2021 violation for roach infestation specifically noted in apartment 3, and another for unsanitary conditions. Additionally, there were violations recorded in early 2021 related to carbon monoxide detector issues and plumbing concerns. More recently, the building has had open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, as noted in inspections from 2022-2024, though its documented bedbug reports show no infestation cases during the 2019-2021 and 2020-2021 reporting periods.

The property underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in 2020 that revealed unauthorized conversion work in the cellar level, specifically regarding bathroom installations, though this violation was resolved without a penalty. Fortunately, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and most recently in 2025, suggesting improved pest management. While there have been multiple maintenance issues over the years, affecting resident comfort and safety, many of these problems have been addressed through the regulatory process, and recent inspections indicate improved conditions.
