1251 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1251 Jefferson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Ganesh Shrestha and constructed in 1905. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being multiple open violations from April 2023 requiring the posting of important safety notices in the 1st-story public hall, including gas leak procedures, heating system keyholder information, and building registration details. The property has shown a concerning pattern of water-related issues, including a documented mold problem and slow leak in 2018, particularly affecting the kitchen ceiling of apartment 3.
These issues were officially cited as violations, though they were later closed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing no infestations recorded during the periods of November 2020 through October 2024. Rodent control has been an ongoing challenge, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing several instances of rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed without incident.
The property has also had periodic needs for compliance with various housing maintenance codes, including a 2021 violation related to door self-closing mechanisms. Notably, a complaint regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone was investigated in 2021 but resulted in no violations being found. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 and the bedbug report from December 2024 indicate improved pest management, while a building permit for unspecified work was issued in March 2019.
