Augrented Insights Report for 131 Madison Street

131 Madison Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Einav Gelberg. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, with persistent open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges.

Between 2021 and 2023, the property underwent multiple construction-related activities that triggered numerous violations, including several safety and compliance issues such as inadequate guardrails, improper debris management, and failure to provide necessary overhead protection during construction. These violations, issued to AB PLUS R CONSTRUCTION, were generally resolved through penalties and corrective actions, though one penalty of $5,000 for "Construction Supervisor Failed to Perform Duties" remains as balance due. The building has also accumulated multiple open violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings for the years 2018 through 2023, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance issues.

However, it's worth noting that the property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating good pest control practices. Recent permit activity shows regular maintenance and improvement efforts, with multiple permits issued between 2021 and 2023 for alteration work. While the building has experienced various compliance issues, the resolution of most construction-related violations and the successful passing of rodent inspections indicate some level of ongoing maintenance and oversight.
