265 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, five-unit building at 265 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joyce Frederick, has experienced several notable pest-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024 and early 2025, the property demonstrated mixed results in rodent inspections, with both "Passed" and "Rat Activity" findings, though an initial inspection in February 2025 did pass.

The building's rat management efforts included bait applications in late 2022, with documented usage on September 15 and October 4. While there were two rat sighting complaints reported through the 311 system in 2021 and 2022, the latter was closed due to prior complaints about the same location. The property has maintained an active bedbug management protocol, with annual reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has consistently filed bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, showing no documented infestations, eradications, or re-infestations during the reporting periods. Four Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded between 2021 and 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though only one remains open as of April 2024, suggesting improved compliance with annual reporting requirements. The building, constructed in 1881, is classified as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" property, indicating it has transitioned from a different use type to its current residential classification.
