493 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 493 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ralph Sealey, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since 2019, with the most recent issues emerging in March 2025. Two unsanitary conditions complaints were filed in March 2025, one regarding garbage/recycling storage (closed April 2025) and another concerning pests (closed without inspection in May 2025).

Between September-October 2019, multiple door-related complaints were documented, leading to violations and requiring inspections from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These included emergency complaints about doors and door frames. During the same period, two apartments received violations for missing radiator valve handles, and there were citations for a defective front entrance door lock and encumbrances in public hallways that required clearance.

The building has open violations from October 2019 related to apartment 2 that require attention: missing carbon monoxide detectors and issues with radiator valve handles in two separate rooms, while building-wide violations pertain to the front entrance door lock and excessive household items in public areas. While there have been several complaints and violations, it's worth noting that recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2022 showed passed results, suggesting some environmental improvements. The property's documented history shows a pattern of door-related issues and periodic maintenance challenges, though more recent complaints appear to focus on sanitation matters.
