491A Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 491A Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lashawn Robinson, has a concerning pattern of pest-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there is a persistent violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
The building has also experienced rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2022 revealing rat activity in April, November, and December, though more recent inspections in 2024 show improvement with a passing result. An unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests was filed in August 2019, which HPD was unable to inspect and resolve at that time.
The property has demonstrated some pattern of improvement, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspection in July 2024 and the absence of new pest complaints in recent years. The building's history of pest-related issues, including both rodent and bedbug concerns, suggests ongoing challenges with pest management and building maintenance. The property, built in 1931, is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its status as a previously converted multiple dwelling.
