261 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

261 Quincy Street is a four-story, nine-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Anthony Lewis. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage in March 2021 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored promptly.

Additional incidents of note include a mold problem reported in August 2019 that was subsequently addressed, and a missing signage issue in July 2021 that remained open at the time of reporting. The building has undergone two significant investigations: a work without a permit complaint in February 2021 that found no violations at inspection, and an illegal conversion complaint in July 2020 where inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt.

Despite these maintenance issues, the building has maintained an impressive record for pest control, with bedbug reports showing zero infestations or re-infestations for the past six years from 2019 through 2024. Furthermore, the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 also showing no problems. The building's overall condition appears stable, with no new significant complaints or issues reported in recent months, and recent inspections have all resulted in passing grades, particularly noteworthy is the building's clean record regarding both bedbugs and rodents over the past year.
