1326 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1326 Jefferson Avenue is a two-family residence located in Bushwick, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ryan King. The property has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding electrical systems, heat and hot water, and sanitation. Most recently, in late 2022, there were two emergency electrical complaints regarding lighting issues that were closed in February 2023.

Earlier, in 2021, the building faced substantial challenges with heat and hot water, impacting the entire building, which resulted in violations being issued. Multiple complaints related to sewage problems were filed and investigated in 2021, including indoor sewage issues and sewage odors, though some inspections found no violations. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly in 2021 when several Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded, primarily affecting apartments 2A and 3.

These violations included issues with hot water supply, defective plaster surfaces, electrical fixtures, bathroom fittings, and a leaking roof. Notably, the property has had consistent rodent control success, passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2012 and 2025. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown the building to meet pest control standards, indicating improved management of this specific issue over time. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the pattern of recurring heating, plumbing, and electrical issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have required attention from multiple city agencies, including HPD and DOHMH.
