847 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
847 Madison Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, completed in 2017 and currently owned by Joe Wasser. The building has experienced recurring water leak issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2023 and 2024, including reports of heavy flow, damp spots, and slow leaks, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has repeatedly been unable to gain access for inspection. In addition to water issues, there was a door-related emergency complaint in December 2023 that was similarly not inspected by HPD.
The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2025, showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during this period. The property's construction phase in 2018 was marked by several safety violations, including issues with scaffold protection, housekeeping, and missing diagonal bracing, though these were all resolved. The construction period also had a stop-work order issued related to inadequate safety measures, which was fully rescinded in October 2018.
More recently, from 2022 to 2025, the building has had periodic rat activity, with initial inspections in 2023 showing activity that warranted baiting, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issues. Annual bedbug reports have been filed consistently, and the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" designation, indicating improved pest management. The building has also had three bedbug report violations between 2021-2024 for not filing annual reports on time, though these are marked as "Close," suggesting they have been resolved.
