114 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 114 Madison Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lacey Haywood, has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an active violation as of June 2023 regarding structural damage to interior/exterior party walls, allegedly caused by construction operations at the neighboring building (116 Madison Street).

The property has undergone three consecutive years of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2023, though the most recent report filed in March 2024 for the period covering November 2022 to October 2023 indicated zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. Between June 2023 and early 2024, there were multiple complaints about building shaking/vibration and structural stability issues, though inspections did not substantiate these claims. The Department of Buildings also recorded a complaint in January 2024 regarding work contrary to a stop work order, which was deemed unsubstantiated.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, including the most recent inspection in April 2025. The property has also demonstrated some level of responsiveness to housing maintenance code requirements, with the bedbug reporting violations being addressed in recent filings, though historically these violations occurred during 2021-2023. The building's age (constructed in 1905) and the presence of multiple violations and complaints over the past few years suggest that while some issues are being addressed, others remain as areas of concern, particularly regarding structural integrity and bedbug reporting compliance.
