886 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

886 Madison Street is an 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Andrew Landesman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2024, as well as an active violation from 2019 for neglecting to submit the 2017 boiler inspection report.

In 2019, a violation was issued regarding unauthorized occupancy changes, specifically concerning the conversion of the cellar into a third bedroom, which resulted in a $2,500 penalty. Recent building history shows some concerning trends, including ongoing complaints and violations. In 2020, there was a complaint about construction lead dust affecting apartments, which remained in progress as of October 2023.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, there were instances of rat activity noted during inspections in May 2023. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug incidents since at least 2018, with all annual reporting periods showing no infestations, eradications, or re-infestations. The most recent inspection results and violation statuses suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance issues that require attention, particularly regarding the low-pressure system documentation requirements.
