Augrented Insights Report for 651 Madison Street

The 32-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 651 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Gladson Johnson, has experienced a range of maintenance issues in recent years. In 2025, the building faced multiple complaints regarding window frames, water leaks, flooring issues, and pest problems, all of which were investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. Of particular concern is the building's recurring heat and hot water system problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between January and February 2025, and two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartments B8 and D2.

The building has also failed to meet energy benchmarking requirements, with active violations showing non-compliance from 2021 to 2023 regarding the filing of benchmarking reports and failure to display energy efficiency scores. The property has documented challenges with pest management, with the most recent bedbug report from June 2024 showing zero infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, though earlier reports indicated no issues from 2021-2022. Rat activity has been confirmed in several inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent compliance inspection in March 2025 passing.

The building's residents have reported concerns about smoking in non-smoking areas and indoor air quality issues in 2025, with health department involvement. Various complaints regarding building egress and debris were filed between 2022 and 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to investigate. The property currently shows open violations regarding fire escape obstructions and door issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the pattern of multiple housing code violations and service requests indicates persistent maintenance and compliance issues that require monitoring.
