283 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, two-unit building at 283 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Anderson Mckenzie, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues since 2021. Most concerning are the ongoing problems with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024.
The building has faced multiple serious structural and safety concerns, beginning with a full vacate order in January 2021 due to building stability concerns, followed by a stop work order regarding site conditions endangering workers. The property has been under active scrutiny for construction-related violations, including work without permits and construction fence maintenance issues, with multiple ECB violations and penalties, including an active $2,500 violation for inadequate safety measures observed in July 2022. More recent inspections between 2023 and 2025 have consistently revealed rat activity, indicating persistent pest control challenges.
There are three active DOB violations as of October 2023 related to the building's structural compromise, demolition requirements, and a fire incident from January 2021. The building has also undergone frequent Department of Building inspections and sweeps, with varying outcomes regarding violations and compliance. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding pest control, bedbug reporting, and building maintenance compliance, suggests ongoing challenges with basic building upkeep and regulatory adherence.
