716 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

716 Madison Street is a two-story, six-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1905 and currently owned by 716 Madison Residence LLC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple electrical problems reported in October 2024, including two "no lighting" complaints and one issue with an electric/gas range, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring, with the most recent reports (2024 and 2023) showing no infested units, though violations were noted in previous years for not filing annual bedbug reports. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, most recently passing in July 2024, with earlier inspections in 2016 showing some issues that were subsequently addressed. Historical records indicate significant maintenance work performed in 2012, particularly in Apartment 1RR, addressing multiple issues including bathroom tile replacement, floor repairs, and the installation of required safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, which were eventually certified as completed in 2018.

The building's violation history shows a pattern of bedbug reporting requirements being unmet between 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. A recent Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was investigated in June 2025 but was found to be unsubstantiated based on official records. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent inspections and filings suggest improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the recent electrical issues in late 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
