1403 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 1403 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Chin and constructed in 1901, presents a mixed but concerning pattern of maintenance compliance over recent years.

Most notably, the property has accumulated three open class A violations in the past two years (2023 and 2024) related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report according to HPD regulations, though it should be noted that these violations are administrative in nature and not necessarily indicative of an active infestation. The building does maintain a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, having passed all five inspections conducted between 2012 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing no issues.

The property's bedbug reporting history shows one proper filing for the period between November 2019 and October 2020, during which time no infested units were reported, and all units were noted as having undergone eradication efforts, though the report dates back to 2021 with no subsequent filings documented for the 2020-2021 or later periods. While the building has demonstrated consistent compliance in other areas such as rodent control, the recurring bedbug report violations over recent years stand out as the most significant maintenance issue on record, though the exact impact on resident experience remains somewhat unclear given the administrative nature of the violations.
