161 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 161 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Edeline Jackson, has experienced persistent compliance issues over the past several years.
Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, suggesting inadequate compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding pest reporting. In terms of rodent control, while the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have passed, there were significant periods of rat activity in 2023 and 2022, with five consecutive inspections showing either initial rat activity (February 2023, August 2022, February 2022) or compliance-related rat activity (March 2023, September 2022).
The building has successfully passed its last three rodent inspections, indicating some improvement in pest management practices, though the history suggests this has been an ongoing challenge. The property, constructed in 1899, has faced these persistent maintenance issues over multiple years, with the most recent being primarily related to bedbug reporting compliance rather than current infestation concerns.
