1217 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1217 Jefferson Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Shimon Sabah. The building experienced significant heating system issues in December 2020, with two separate complaints filed - one regarding heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building and another concerning a specific apartment. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections on December 22, 2020, resulting in multiple violations.

These included defective self-closing doors at the basement, front entrance, and vestibule areas, as well as inadequate heating conditions noted specifically for Room 3 on the first floor. The building was also found to have several administrative violations related to safety and compliance notices, including requirements for smoke detector information, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and posting of the building registration number. Despite the earlier heating system challenges, recent inspections indicate improved conditions.

The building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2012 to 2025, with the most recent inspections in April 2024 and April 2025 showing no issues. The multiple violations identified in December 2020 were subsequently marked as closed, and no additional heating system complaints have been recorded since then. The property appears to have maintained good overall conditions in recent years, particularly in terms of pest control, with regular annual inspections consistently passing the requirements.
