Augrented Insights Report for 125 Madison Street

125 Madison Street is a 15-unit, 5-story old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Michael Besse. The property has experienced ongoing rodent issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints and inspections confirming rat activity despite bait applications and inspections indicating persistent pest problems.

In September 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartments 2 and 15, including a roach infestation and defects in plastered surfaces. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including multiple heat and hot water outages in late 2023, water supply issues in early 2024, and concerns about garbage storage conditions.

More serious structural and safety concerns emerged in mid-2023, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations regarding a collapsed section of the brick facade, which was initially documented on July 17, 2023, along with problems with building security and illegal apartment conversions. The building experienced additional issues in late 2023 and 2024 related to a sidewalk shed that was not properly maintained or illuminated, leading to active ECB violations with substantial penalties. While the building's recent history shows some stabilization in terms of management response, including the removal of multiple violations in July 2025, the property continues to grapple with basic maintenance and pest control challenges.
