304 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 16-unit, 4-story residential building at 304 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Walter Griffin, was constructed in 1931 and is classified as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT." The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and recycling storage, evidenced by four separate complaints between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent unsanitary condition complaint filed in August 2024. While housing inspections generally did not find violations for these conditions, access for inspection was not granted in some cases. The building has also faced periodic maintenance challenges, with a non-emergency plumbing issue regarding a bathtub/shower reported in December 2022.

Historical violations from 2012-2013 included issues with the intercom system, window sashes, and fire-resistant plaster in public areas, though these were all certified as resolved by March 2019. The property's infrastructure has been notably monitored for vermin, with rodent inspections showing consistent compliance and only one instance of rat activity recorded in July 2024 among ten inspections between 2022 and 2025. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 to 2025 showing zero infested units.

Two significant violations related to a boiler registration issue were documented in 2018, resulting in a $500 penalty, though the balance was eventually cleared. The Department of Buildings investigated a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in March 2019 but found no violations. Most recently, in 2024 and 2025, the building has passed all rodent inspections, and there have been no new bedbug infestations reported, suggesting recent improvements in overall building maintenance and pest control.
