551 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 4-unit, 3-story old law tenement building at 551 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Vibert Freeman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. A concerning pattern of heating system problems emerged in 2022, with two heat/hot water complaints filed in May and January, though inspectors were unable to access all units for verification. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly during 2021-2022, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to rodent and insect infestations.
Notably, a January 2022 inspection of Apartment 2 revealed several violations including ongoing mouse and roach infestations, defective self-closing doors, maintenance issues with door frames, and concerns regarding window guards. Recent inspections show some improvement in building conditions, with a passed rodent inspection in July 2025 and compliance inspection in August 2024. However, there are still open violations from 2022 regarding rodent infestation, door repairs, and lead paint hazards in Apartment 2.
The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with the most recent report in July 2024 showing no infested units between November 2022 and October 2023. While previously experiencing rat activity in 2022 and 2024, the most recent inspections indicate successful management of rodent issues. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic infrastructure and pest control, with some violations remaining unresolved as of the latest inspections.
