45 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 45 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Tom Michaeli, has a notable record of housing maintenance compliance issues between 2021 and 2024. The property, dating back to 1899 and classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building, has garnered multiple "Open" violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement under Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations, dating from 2021 to 2024, indicate non-compliance with mandatory bedbug report submissions, though no current status date has been provided for these violations. More recently, in March 2025, the building experienced concerns related to water damage, with observations of water residue and stains on carpet at the cellar level noted during a Department of Buildings inspection. This violation appears to be currently active.

The building has also had some pest-related concerns, with a rat sighting reported in April 2025, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent inspection found no violations. However, it's worth noting that despite these issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted approximately every six months between 2020 and 2025, suggesting that while rodent sightings may occur, they have not resulted in persistent infestations. The property has maintained a regular schedule of inspections, typically passing with no significant rodent-related violations, and most recent inspections have shown compliance with health department standards.
