220 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

220 Monroe Street is a 4-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023, with eight documented complaints between January and December, though many inspections were unable to gain access for verification. The building faced several maintenance challenges, including door frame and door issues (April 2023), intercom system problems (2022-2023), and a cabinet issue (February 2023).

Two active violations from December 2023 remain open concerning fire escape modifications in apartment 3F, specifically related to a key-operated lock and air conditioning unit installation. The building has experienced structural concerns, with multiple shaking/vibrating complaints lodged between 2022-2025, though investigations generally found no violations warranting action. The property has a history of various systems requiring attention, including a 2020 violation regarding an illegal boiler room setup with multiple safety concerns, though this has been resolved.

Multiple rodent inspections have been conducted between 2021 and 2025, with consistent passing results, though some initial inspections in 2021 and 2025 showed rodent activity. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2022-2024). Recent inspections from 2024-2025 show improved compliance in various aspects, with most past violations having been addressed and closed. The current property owner, Joel Williams, has maintained ownership through this period, which has included repeated infrastructure challenges primarily centered around heating and hot water systems.
