723 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

723 Quincy Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Constance Barnhardt. Built in 1931, this Class B building has undergone several significant events, most notably in June 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests, sewage issues, mold, garbage/recycling storage problems, and concerns with stairs and doors/windows. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, no violations were issued in any of these cases.

The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, with no recorded infestations in the most recent three reporting periods, though there were two units noted as having had infestations in 2019-2020. The property currently faces several active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with the most recent violation issued on September 23, 2024. Historical records show a pattern of either no access being granted during inspections or failure to complete required inspections between 2018 and 2023.

While these violations are concerning, it's important to note that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, though there was reported rat activity detected in 2015. Additionally, a Department of Buildings complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in June 2022, though inspectors were denied access during two attempts. The building has also experienced recurring issues warranting emergency responses in 2022, including problems with stairs, sewage, doors, and roofing, though these were ultimately categorized as no violations being found.
