183 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

183 Monroe Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and owned by Deynecourt Barker. Built in 1931, this New Law Tenement building has faced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Between late 2023 and early 2024, multiple inspections were conducted in response to complaints filed on November 28, 2023, covering various issues including flooring, door and window conditions, appliance problems (electric/gas range), water leaks, mold, and pest infestations.

Notably, while these complaints were investigated, no violations were found, and the cases were closed. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one in June 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, continuing a trend of improved rodent control. However, there were two inspections in 2023 showing "Rat Activity" and "Bait Applied" results.

There are currently two open violations from April 2022 related to building maintenance: one concerning rust and paint requirements on the south fire escape, and another regarding the proper display of inspection certificates near the mailboxes. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports showing zero affected units. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most have been addressed through inspections, and recent records suggest some improvement in overall building conditions, particularly with pest management.
