338 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

338 Madison Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Michael Jones. The property, built in 1915, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with the most significant being a rodent problem that began in 2020, including a rat sighting that prompted health department violations and multiple failed rodent inspections.

While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2022, with the most recent in March 2025, the property has had recurring issues requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of violations primarily related to safety equipment in Apartment 2, including multiple notices for missing or defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and lighting fixtures between 2014-2015. These violations were eventually certified as corrected in 2022.

More recently, there have been three consecutive years (2021-2023) with Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though records indicate no actual bedbug infestations during this period. Additionally, there were two failed inspection attempts in 2019-2020 when inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises. Since these various infractions were addressed, the building has maintained generally compliant status with regular inspections and report filings.
