502 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

502 Madison Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Edward Joseph and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced several pest-related issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in December 2018, when multiple violations were recorded related to unsanitary conditions, including pests, door frames, and wall conditions.

While these violations were eventually closed between January 2019 and February 2019, the building has continued to face challenges with pest management. Notably, there was a rat sighting reported in April 2022, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection. The building has maintained an active schedule of rodent inspections, with all inspections in 2022, 2024, and later passing successfully.

The property has also faced some safety-related violations, including an open violation from 2019 regarding the arrangement and self-closing mechanism of building entrance doors, as well as an open violation concerning the building's annual bedbug report filing requirement, last noted in April 2024. The violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent bedbug report file in July 2023 reporting no infested units for the period of November 2021 to October 2022. The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety protocols, including the requirement to post gas leak procedures in common areas, though some violations regarding household articles in public halls have also been documented.
