690 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
690 Monroe Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michael Khodadadian. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns involving sewage problems and rodent activity. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about sewage odor and rat sightings, with inspections confirming rat activity in both May and June 2025. The building has also faced significant plumbing and sanitation challenges, including multiple sewage-related complaints in 2025, an unsanitary condition violation in 2024, and a history of heat and hot water issues, particularly an entire-building outage in November 2024.
The property has multiple open and recently resolved violations from various agencies. Notable current concerns include a July 2023 Class C violation related to bathroom mold in Apartment 2F, as well as several issues documented in 2023-2024 regarding bathroom maintenance, including problems with the bathtub, caulking, and plumbing. There is also one active DOB violation from 2019 regarding a failed boiler inspection report filing. While the building underwent rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 showing some periods of compliance, recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rodent presence.
The building's bedbug reporting history since 2021 shows no recorded infestations or re-infestions in the past four reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management in this area. The property has experienced multiple system-related issues requiring HPD and DOHMH intervention, including problems with the intercom system, various plumbing issues (including water leaks), and door/window maintenance needs. Inspections have often encountered access challenges, particularly for sewage and plumbing complaints, leading to some cases being closed without full inspection. The building's maintenance record indicates a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular patterns of concern around water-related problems, both in terms of supply and sanitation.
