1132 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1132 Jefferson Avenue is a 2-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 1920 in Bushwick, currently owned by Daniel Emmanuel. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, most notably during July 2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, as well as concerns about water leaks, ceiling damage, and floor conditions.

While these complaints were eventually closed, they were marked by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) as requiring re-inspection due to lack of access. The building has a history of various maintenance violations dating back to 2009, including problems with plastered surfaces, pest infestations, and a carbon monoxide detector issue in the 1st-floor apartment, though these violations have all been certified as corrected by November 2023. More recently, the property has faced some regulatory challenges, with an active Environmental Control Board violation as of October 2024 regarding an improperly constructed front yard fence that exceeds the permitted height of 4 feet, with a $500 penalty imposed.

However, the building has passed its rodent inspections consistently from 2012 through 2025, suggesting improved pest management in recent years. A 2018 building inspection revealed multiple areas requiring attention, including ceiling and wall repairs in various apartments, though these violations have also been certified as corrected by November 2023. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the resolution of many historical violations and recent rodent control success indicates some improvement in property management and compliance.
