1399 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The two-family house at 1399 Madison Street in Bushwick, owned by Katherine Lee, has a documented history spanning several years with some notable maintenance issues. Most concerning were two instances in late 2019 where the entire building experienced significant service disruptions, including heat/hot water problems and electrical lighting failures, both of which were classified as emergency complaints. These incidents occurred in November 2019 and October 2019 respectively, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the building during their visits.

Additionally, there was an emergency mold complaint in September 2018, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. A more recent structural concern was reported in December 2020 regarding building shaking or vibrating, though this complaint was investigated and closed with no violations found. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passed results, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in March 2021.

The building's maintenance history also includes various service requests in late 2019, including issues with cooking gas and wall conditions, all of which were ultimately closed. A permit related to electrical work was issued in November 2020, which appears to be the only major permit activity on record. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years, the most recent inspections and complaints suggest improved conditions, with no major violations or persistent issues reported in the past several years.
