1182 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 1182 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Townhouse Rental LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2023. The most pressing concerns involve water-related problems, including multiple reports of mold, water leaks, and ceiling damage.

Notable incidents include a June 2025 DOHMH violation for standing water, August 2023 violations for mold and leaks affecting Apartment 2 (with specific mold issues identified in both the 2nd bathroom and other rooms), and multiple heat/hot water complaints in late 2022. The building has also experienced recurring issues with ceiling damage and sanitary conditions, evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations that have been subsequently resolved, including roof-related issues affecting multiple rooms and bathrooms in Apartment 2, as well as problems with light fixtures and plaster surfaces.

Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, though there was one instance of rat activity in June 2021. The building's history shows some concern about unauthorized after-hours work and construction site violations between late 2021 and early 2022, but inspections did not warrant any violations. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024, with no reported infestations during this period, and recent rodent inspections have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
