952 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-family house at 952 Madison Street in Bushwick, owned by Michael R, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2014. Notably, in January 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including problems with heating/hot water, lighting, mold, and a water leak resulting in a damp spot.

While these issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were issued, they represent a cluster of maintenance challenges during the winter months. The building has also faced compliance issues with building safety equipment, as evidenced by a 2021 violation regarding a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, though this was certified as corrected by May 2021. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2010 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in April 2024 and April 2025 showing passed results, indicating improved pest management.

Three building complaints regarding illegal conversion and permit issues were filed in recent years (2025 and 2022), but access was denied or the inspection could not be completed. Multiple housing maintenance violations were issued in October 2019 related to improper posting of building information, though these were subsequently corrected. Despite the building's relatively young age, these documented issues suggest periodic maintenance challenges, though recent rodent control success and some compliance improvements are noted.
