739 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

739 Quincy Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Nathaniel Frank. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns relating to lead paint hazard compliance. In December 2022, the building received multiple Class C violations for failing to notify occupants and investigate lead-based paint hazards, as well as for not providing required records related to lead-based paint notices and inspections.

During 2023, the building received four Class B violations for failing to certify compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements during periods of unit vacancy, affecting apartments 2, 3, and 4. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, evidenced by multiple violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from 2023 and 2025 show zero infested units. While water supply issues were reported in January 2021 and investigated with no violations found, more recent concerns have shifted focus to pest control, lead paint compliance, and rodent activity. The property has experienced rat activity in 2024 (July) and 2025 (July), though it passed rat inspections in 2022 (November) and 2024 (August).

The most recent bedbug report (May 2025) indicates no current infestations or eradication efforts. The building's record shows a pattern of unresolved regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding lead paint safety and bedbug reporting requirements. The presence of rat activity in recent inspections suggests ongoing challenges with pest control, though some improvement is indicated by passing compliance inspections. The property's management has made efforts to address some violations, as evidenced by closed complaints, but there remain several open and unresolved issues that have persisted over multiple years.
