520 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

520 Madison Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by 200 Properties LLC. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly concerning sanitation issues. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a report of mold, which was addressed according to HPD records.

Prior to this, in October 2024, the Department of Health reviewed the property for rodent-related issues, which followed multiple reports of rodent signs earlier that year. The building's rodent management history shows ongoing attention to the problem, with bait application occurring regularly from September to December 2024, following initial findings of rat activity in July 2024. The property previously had two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were closed.

However, during the subsequent reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, the building consistently reported zero bedbug infestations, with all units listed as neither infested nor requiring eradication. While this indicates proper monitoring and management of bedbug risks, the more recent focus has shifted to rodent control and mold issues, with multiple bait applications recorded in late 2024 and the most recent mold complaint in early 2025. The building's age and history suggest that while there have been persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in the past two years, proper procedures have generally been followed for addressing violations and reporting requirements.
