904 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The property at 904 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a 3-story, 5-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Robert Jones. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with a notable cluster of electrical problems in May 2023, including power outages, lighting failures, and outlet issues - all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations being issued. More significantly, there are multiple outstanding violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, which have remained open for several years.

The building's owner has also accumulated several Department of Buildings (DOB) environmental violations between 2019-2022, primarily related to improper construction and failure to file necessary corrections, with penalties totaling over $20,000. These include violations for constructing unpermitted sheds and failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with the most recent results from 2025 showing rat activity, while earlier inspections in 2023 and 2024 had similar findings.

The building has active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2023. While there have been various complaints recorded with the 311 system over the past few years, including issues with doors and windows, all have been closed without violations being issued. The property has also faced several issues related to an illegal driveway curb cut, though these were addressed through violations served between 2019-2022.
