639 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

639 Madison Street is a two-family, two-story residential building located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Joanna Mata. The property has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water emergency in May 2019 affecting the second-floor apartment, which resulted in Housing Preservation and Development violations that were subsequently resolved.

The building underwent a rodent inspection in July 2024 and successfully passed, consistent with a similar passing inspection in October 2022, indicating good building maintenance in this regard. The Department of Buildings has documented two complaints of interest: one in October 2023 related to enforcement work, which resulted in no violations being found during the inspection, and another from April 2019 concerning a permit issue for which the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt.

Notably, the property was issued an alteration permit in September 2021 (job number 322069426), though specific details regarding the scope of work performed under this permit are not provided in the available data. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, particularly in 2019, the most recent inspections and permits suggest that proper attention has been given to maintaining building standards and addressing previous violations.
