16 St Andrews Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 16 St Andrews Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by 241a Madison LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most notable occurring between May 2023 and July 2023. During this period, the building received multiple violations requiring attention to safety documentation, including the need to post gas leak procedures, smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and maintaining proper inspection certificates near mailboxes. Additionally, there was an important violation related to removing household items obstructing egress from fire escapes, specifically on the second-story balcony.

Earlier in 2023, the building faced complaints regarding mold and door issues, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspections. The Department of Buildings recorded a complaint about water drainage issues in May 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification on two final attempts in July 2023. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated satisfactory maintenance performance in some areas.

It has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2025, with all professional inspections passing, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspection in June 2024. The building's age (constructed in 1901) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest it has required ongoing attention to maintain compliance with current housing codes. While the property has experienced various safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, it is worth noting that many of these violations were resolved by mid-2023, with most recent complaints showing no recurring violations or infestations.
