241 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

241 Madison Street, a two-family house built in 1882 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is currently owned by Akiva Emergi. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past three years, with multiple rat sightings reported through 311 service requests and several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections. The most recent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 confirmed ongoing rat activity, despite some periods showing successful bait application.

Between 2020 and 2023, there were consistent rodent complaints, with the DOHMH often citing earlier complaints as a reason for closing recent reports. The building's most recent inspection in February 2025 identified active rodent presence, following similar findings in September 2024 and August 2023. The property has undergone various inspection types, including Initial, Compliance, and Bait application, with mixed results.

Notably, the building passed inspections in February 2024 and September 2023, though these were followed by returns of rat activity in subsequent inspections. The recurring nature of these infestations, as indicated by multiple rounds of bait application and compliance checks showing active rodent presence, suggests an ongoing challenge with pest management at this location. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by certain inspections showing bait had been successfully applied, the overall pattern indicates this remains a significant maintenance issue for the building.
