1092 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

This three-story, three-unit, 1899 old-law tenement building at 1092 Madison Street in Bushwick has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there were emergency complaints about heat and hot water in February 2020, and a heavy water leak in December 2019, though no violations were issued for the latter. The building faced multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2019, including problems with self-closing doors at both the front entrance and vestibule on the first story, as well as issues with window guards in Apartment 1.

A concerning violation relating to bedbug reporting requirements was issued in April 2021, though the building has since maintained an infestation-free record according to the 2024 bedbug filings. The Department of Buildings issued a violation in February 2021 regarding work done without a permit in the cellar area, though this violation was resolved without a penalty. Recent inspections have shown improvement in pest management, with successful rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, though there were previous failures in 2015-2016.

The building's permit history shows a valid construction permit issued in April 2019. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no infested or eradicated units reported in any of the annual filings from 2021 to 2024. Of particular note, the building's violation history shows a pattern of addressing safety and maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations and complaints, though some historical issues, such as the self-closing door problems and the window guard non-compliance, and the water leak incident, suggest some recurring maintenance challenges.
