1087 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1087 Madison Street in Bushwick is a 6-unit, 3-story Class A residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Martin Kirzner. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent being a mold complaint in October 2024 that HPD was unable to inspect. Throughout 2024, there have been multiple water-related problems, including three separate water leak incidents (one classified as heavy flow and two as slow leaks), and a plumbing issue involving a toilet.

A concerning incident occurred in May 2024 when tenants reported no heat or hot water, though these were restored according to subsequent reports. The building has also experienced some infrastructure problems, with complaints about a basin/sink issue and electrical wiring concerns filed in October 2023, both of which were closed without violations being issued. The property has a documented history of building code violations from 2018-2019, including one incident of illegal after-hours work and another for failing to obtain proper permits, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.

While there were two instances of mold-related complaints in 2023 (October) and 2024 (October), both were either closed without violations or resulted in no follow-up inspection. Importantly, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with no reported cases of bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), showing a clean record of eradication and no re-infestation events. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with water-related issues and occasional heating problems, though many complaints have been addressed promptly through HPD inspections. The absence of recent bedbug cases indicates effective management of that particular concern, while the resolution of housing maintenance code complaints suggests responsiveness to identified issues, even if some required multiple service requests to fully address.
