461 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 461 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moshe Malik, has faced persistent maintenance challenges since 2021. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent issue, with the most recent inspections in 2025 continuing to show evidence of rat activity despite multiple bait applications throughout 2024 and early 2025.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 indicate several maintenance issues, particularly affecting the first apartment's bathroom and various doors throughout the building, including problems with a loose privacy door, broken ceramic floor tiles, and multiple defective doors requiring repair or replacement. The property also experienced mold issues in 2022, particularly in the cellar, though some general maintenance issues were resolved promptly, including problems with a cabinet and plumbing fixtures. The building's history includes several significant complaints regarding potential illegal uses or modifications, with multiple reports of suspected illegal conversions and commercial uses between 2021 and 2022, though most inspections resulted in no violations being found or inspectors being unable to gain access.

Boiler-related complaints were also filed in 2021, with similar access issues during inspections. More recently, in 2024-2025, the building continued to show rodent activity despite multiple inspection attempts, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene becoming involved through multiple service requests. The property has had varying success with inspections and repairs, with some violations remaining open as of the latest available data, particularly related to building security and various door issues throughout the structure.
