815 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-story, three-unit building at 815 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Paul Naranjo and constructed in 2005, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to water management and temperature control. Between 2022 and September 2023, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in March 2023 for inadequate heat supply and hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 1.

The building has also faced significant water-related challenges, with emergency complaints about heavy flow leaks in both April and September 2023, and unsanitary sewage conditions reported in April 2023, though not all inspections resulted in violations. In addition to these recurring issues, there were substantial violations in 2011-2012 affecting Apartment 3, including problems with water leakage, plaster surfaces, and missing safety devices, though these have since been addressed and closed. Recent inspections indicate the building has maintained a generally pest-free environment, with multiple bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections have mostly yielded passing results, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing compliance, though there was one failed inspection in May 2023 for unspecified reasons. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations and the building's ongoing participation in rodent control programs, but the pattern of repeated water-related complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The most recent service requests and violations up to October 2023 indicate that while some systems are being addressed, there are persistent issues with water management and temperature control that affect resident comfort and safety.
