677 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 677 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Quincy Palace LLC, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2025. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of mold and water leak complaints in May 2025, with multiple emergency service requests recorded through HPD, though inspections were unable to be completed in these cases. Earlier in 2025, there were also heat and hot water complaints that could not be properly inspected due to access issues.

The building has several open violations from a May 2023 inspection of Apartment 1B, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and electrical service issues. Of particular concern are structural stability issues noted in 2023, with two separate violations regarding loose bricks and missing mortar at the building's exterior, as well as an active ECB violation for failure to comply with a commissioner's order regarding structural deficiencies. The building's history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, including three inspections in 2022-2023 related to illegal cellar conversions, though these violations were eventually resolved.

Structural concerns were documented through multiple complaints about building shaking and structural monitoring in 2023, leading to an ECB violation in October 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years, and has successfully passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022. While some violations have been resolved and certain maintenance issues appear to be addressed (such as bedbug treatment and rodent control), the recurring pattern of moisture-related problems, heating issues, and structural concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
