658 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 658 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, owned by David Fischer and constructed in 1925, has exhibited an ongoing struggle with rodent issues in recent years. Throughout 2025, there was documented rat activity in February and March, and bait was applied in July, suggesting persistent pest management challenges.
The building currently shows no active bedbug infestations, with reports from 2020 through 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units, which is a positive tenant safety indicator. The property has experienced several administrative challenges with inspection access, particularly regarding permit inspections in 2018, 2019, and 2020, where inspectors were unable to gain access during final attempts. A recent violation was issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in October 2024.
Maintenance issues have been relatively minimal, with only one documented complaint in 2021 regarding ceiling paint/plaster, which was investigated by HPD with no violations found. Historically, the building has maintained a consistent pattern of passing rodent inspections (2012-2019), with the first signs of rodent-related concerns appearing in 2025. While the building's older age and structural history as a tenement suggest typical urban maintenance needs, the recent uptick in rodent activity and inspection access issues may warrant continued monitoring.
