637 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

637 Marcy Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Blanca Caban. The building, constructed in 1931, has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug eradication protocols, showing no infestation cases from 2019 through 2024, with all reporting periods indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

The property has maintained an excellent rodent control record, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, including four inspections in 2024-2025 which continued to show no rodent issues. Recent safety compliance issues were identified during a May 2023 inspection, resulting in multiple violations that have since been addressed.

These included the need for proper gas leak notices, smoke detector requirement postings, and improvements to fire safety features such as the removal of a door kickstand stop preventing self-closing at the vestibule door and the installation of a required one-hour fire resistance rated self-closing door at the fourth-story bulkhead. The building achieved certification for compliance with some of these violations by May 2023, including proper notice postings at the first story and provision of a completed certificate of inspection visits near mailboxes. While the building had these significant safety-related violations addressed, it's noteworthy that they occurred in a single inspection cycle, suggesting proactive management response once the issues were identified.
