The 4-unit, 3-story building at 669 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Vivian Sullivan, was constructed in 1931 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B building. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around food establishment compliance, as evidenced by DOHMH complaints in both 2024 and 2023 related to dishwashing/utensils and food contamination, though these issues were officially addressed and closed. A significant incident occurred in January 2022 regarding heat and hot water complaints, where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though troublingly, these violations spanned multiple years despite consistent reporting showing zero infested or re-infested units, and no units requiring eradication.
Recent inspections and compliance checks indicate some improvement, with a rodent inspection in July 2024 passing successfully, following a pattern of both rat activity and compliance inspections in 2022 that showed varied results. The most recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate full compliance with no infestations during the previous reporting period. A Department of Buildings inspection in November 2024 found no violations warranting action at that time. While many historical violations have been closed, the building's record shows a pattern of recurring administrative issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, though these appear to have been resolved in recent filings. The property has maintained occupancy throughout this period, as indicated by multiple reporting periods being completed.
