650 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

650 Madison Street is a 5-story, 38-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Solomon Schwimmer and completed in 2022. The building has experienced several recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in late 2024 when multiple complaints were filed between December 5-13 regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water problems.

While many of these complaints were investigated and closed, the pattern suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. More recent concerns from May 2025 include open complaints about pest infestations and wall maintenance issues, as well as a closed indoor air quality complaint. The building has also experienced water-related issues, with a heavy flow leak complaint in February 2025 and earlier minor water and paint issues documented in mid-2024.

The property's construction history shows some regulatory scrutiny, with a stop work order issued in March 2019 that was later rescinded, and two complaints in 2023 regarding unauthorized work and tracking compliance, both of which were found to have no violations upon inspection. Notably, the building's bedbug reporting for the last two cycles (2023-2025) shows zero infested units, indicating effective pest management in this regard. While the building is relatively new, the accumulation of service requests and complaints within its short history suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems like heating and plumbing.
