Augrented Insights Report for 1286 Madison Street

The three-story, six-unit building at 1286 Madison Street in Bushwick, owned by Menashe Horowitz and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and legal issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a period of significant unsanitary conditions reported throughout 2023 and 2024, including multiple complaints about pests, mold, sewage issues, and a slow water leak, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations.

The building underwent notable regulatory scrutiny in 2021 regarding illegal apartment modifications, particularly concerning basement conversions in apartments 1L and 1R, which were found to have unauthorized stairs connecting to the cellar and were subsequently ordered to be discontinued. These violations, classified as Class A and B, involved both occupancy and construction issues, including the installation of unauthorized sleeping rooms and code violations related to various building systems. Recent inspections have indicated ongoing rodent issues, with rat activity confirmed in April and May 2025, following a period of passing inspections.

The building's systems and maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues, with particular patterns of pest and moisture problems emerging throughout the records. Notably, the property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status based on official reporting, with no recorded infestations since 2019. While the building has undergone some permitted improvements as evidenced by permits issued in 2019 and 2020, the persistence of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance.
