598 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 598 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ricardo Kingston, has consistently faced administrative challenges regarding its bedbug reporting obligations. The building, constructed in 1931 and currently classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has accumulated four consecutive open violations of Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024.

These ongoing violations, though administrative in nature, suggest some difficulty in maintaining compliance with city regulations. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated good general conditions through successful rodent inspections, passing all three inspections conducted in 2018, 2022, and most recently in July 2024.

The property appears to be maintaining basic hygiene standards in this regard, which is crucial for resident safety and comfort. While the persistence of bedbug reporting violations is concerning, the building's successful passage of rodent inspections indicates attention to some aspects of building maintenance, though it should be noted that these two issues may not necessarily be directly related.
