485 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
At 485 Madison Street, a three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Pierre Mallebranche, recent months have shown persistent concerns regarding rodent activity. The building has experienced multiple rat sightings in 2025, with the most recent inspections in March and February 2025 confirming rat activity in compliance inspections.
The property is subject to ongoing monitoring by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found violations requiring follow-up inspections in both February and March 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with basic infrastructure, including door/window access problems and intercom system failures, with inspections in January 2025 unable to gain access for evaluation. The property has been subject to multiple rat inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing a mix of passed and failed inspections, though notably, the most recent inspections in 2025 documented rat activity.
There is also an open violation regarding bedbug reporting compliance from both 2023 and 2024, which requires the owner to file annual bedbug reports with HPD. While the building's 2020-2021 bedbug report indicated no infestation or eradication issues, the open violations suggest ongoing oversight concerns. The building's overall inspection record indicates a pattern of structural and pest management challenges, with particular emphasis on rodent control issues that have persisted into 2025 despite various inspections and violations being documented.
