51 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

51 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a three-story, two-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Carlotta Brown. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, most significantly regarding building systems and maintenance compliance.

In late 2019, there were documented problems with heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these were resolved within a few days. The building has been subject to recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, receiving multiple citations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no infested units. The property has also faced two violations regarding inspection report filings in 2019 and 2023 for boiler and low-pressure systems, with the 2019 violation resulting in a penalty payment.

In terms of pest control and building safety, 51 Madison Street has maintained a successful record in recent years, with multiple passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 showing consistent compliance with health standards. Despite three complaints about illegal conversions between January and June 2019, no violations were found during inspections. The property, while having experienced various maintenance issues in the past, has shown improvements in recent years, particularly in rodent control and bedbug management, though historical issues with heat/hot water systems and compliance with inspection requirements should be noted.
