1225 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story building at 1225 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Juan Salcedo, has experienced a series of maintenance issues since 2022, with the most concerning being multiple heating and hot water problems. In 2024, there were two heat/hot water complaints (one emergency) that were inspected by HPD, but no violations were found. The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, with three separate outlet/switch complaints between 2023 and 2024, all of which were closed without violations.

Multiple plumbing issues were reported in March 2023, including problems with sinks, bathtubs, and toilets, along with an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests, none of which resulted in violations. There are several open violations related to safety requirements as of April 2024, including failure to file annual bedbug reports, which constitutes an A-class violation under the Housing Maintenance Code. While the building has had multiple inspections for rodent issues, including three passed inspections between 2022 and 2025, there was an open C-class violation from 2022 concerning a mice infestation in Apartment 1.

Previous violations from 2022 related to heating system access, smoke detector requirements, and various safety postings have been resolved. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly with heating and electrical systems, though most complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections, even if no violations were found. The building is currently in a status where it requires attention to its open violations regarding bedbug reporting and past pest control issues.
