13 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 13 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Kofi Bonney and constructed in 1998, has consistently faced challenges with regulatory compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD requirements, with these citations being issued between 2021 and 2024.

These ongoing violations, while administrative in nature, suggest potential gaps in the owner's attention to building maintenance requirements. In terms of rodent activity, the building has shown a mixed record.

Most recently, in March 2025, the property passed a compliance inspection, following a February 2025 initial inspection that had recorded rat activity - a significant concern given the potential health implications for residents. Prior to this incident, the building maintained a generally good record with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections from 2020 through 2024, with the exception of the aforementioned February 2025 inspection. The property was also found to have passed an initial rodent inspection in August 2024, demonstrating some level of responsive maintenance to pest control issues as they arise.
