691 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
691 Quincy Street is a three-story, three-unit brownstone building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Richard Freeman. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, most notably a serious fire incident in March 2020 that caused substantial damage, including compromised fire ratings and broken windows, leading to an active violation regarding structural non-compliance.
Following the fire, there were multiple complaints about failure to comply with vacate orders, and numerous Environmental Control Board violations related to non-compliance with orders and working without permits. The building has maintained an ongoing pattern of housing maintenance code violations, particularly regarding bedbug report filings, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
In 2018, there were multiple safety-related violations in Apartment 1, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and kitchen floor damage. While recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, there were documented rat activity issues in late 2022, and the building is currently active with several unresolved Department of Buildings violations regarding structural concerns and failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. The property has a documented history of occupancy issues, with multiple failures to comply with vacate orders, though most of these violations were eventually resolved with penalties ranging from $0 to $1,000.
