1404 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story tenement building at 1404 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Myrna Mendez and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there have been three consecutive instances between 2021 and 2023 where the property failed to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent report filed in February 2024 indicates zero infested units during the previous reporting period.

The building has also faced significant rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing rat activity. The property has undergone multiple rodent control measures, including bait applications in July 2022 and several "Initial" inspections showing rat activity during 2022-2023, though compliance inspections from March 2023 and prior have passed.

The building's maintenance record demonstrates a pattern of pest-related violations, with particular emphasis needed on the timeline from 2021 through 2023 regarding both bedbug reporting compliance and ongoing rodent control efforts. While the most recent bedbug reporting appears to show improved conditions, the continued presence of rat activity as of May 2025 suggests that pest management remains an ongoing concern. The property has maintained three residential units since its construction and has undergone standard regulatory inspections typical for New York City buildings of its age and classification.
