626 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
626 Monroe Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Julia Bechtolsheimer and constructed in 2014. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in February 2023 involving a heat and hot water outage, though services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. The property has a notable history of plumbing-related problems, particularly in late 2018 and early 2019, with multiple complaints about water leaks, heat/hot water issues, sewage problems, and ceiling paint/plaster concerns.
While several of these complaints were closed, they often involved difficulties in providing access for inspections. The building currently has several open violations from 2018-2019 related to plumbing fixtures, waste lines, and a specific ceiling repair requirement in Apartment 4. More recent concerns include open bedbug report violations dating from 2021-2024 that appear to be administrative in nature.
The property has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 (most recently in July 2024) showing persistent rat activity, while a 2022 inspection passed. These maintenance and pest control issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort, though many earlier plumbing and water-related complaints have been addressed over time. The building's documented history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, particularly concentrated in 2018-2019, with fewer recent complaints but continuing concerns about pest control and unaddressed violations.
