544 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
544 Monroe Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Asquith Griffth and constructed in 1931.
The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two significant emergency complaints documented in 2019 and most recently in January 2025, when HPD responded to a building-wide heating problem. Despite these issues, heat and hot water services were reportedly restored in both instances before full inspections could be completed.
The property has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 through 2024, as well as documented rat activity in multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025, including recent inspections in May and July 2025 showing continued rat presence. The building received a Department of Buildings inspection in 2020 regarding debris concerns, though no violations were found at the time of inspection.
