664 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

664 Madison Street is a four-story, eight-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Watt and constructed in 1931 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues, with recent rat activity confirmed during inspections in June and July 2025, following an unsuccessful DOHMH inspection in June 2025.

Between December 2020 and 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding various safety and maintenance issues, including the absence of lighting, door problems, and carbon monoxide detector concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has consistently complied with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all annual reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Significant violations have been recorded, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from April 2021 concerning an obstructed fourth-floor stairwell hallway, which carried a $1,250 penalty.

Three bedbug-related violations were issued between 2021 and 2023 for failure to file annual reports, though these were subsequently closed. The property has also faced investigations into possible illegal conversions and unauthorized hotel rooms in 2020-2021, with inspectors unable to gain access on multiple occasions. While recent rodent sightings indicate ongoing pest issues, the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety regulations, passing rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, and showing no active bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods.
