Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The five-story, eight-unit building at Madison Street in Bushwick, owned by 19 Thorman Ave LLC, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues over its relatively short history. Most notably, in October 2024, multiple complaints regarding pests were filed, with one resulting in an HPD inspection that found no housing law violations, though another inspection was unable to be completed. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including heat/hot water issues (2024 and 2022), unsanitary conditions (mold and sewer problems in July 2024), and plumbing issues (toilet and sewage problems in 2022).

While the building's bedbug reports from 2022 to present show no infestations, there was an unresolved violation in 2022 regarding a missing toilet seat in Apartment 1R. During construction in 2018-2019, there were several significant violations, including multiple instances of work continuing during stop work orders, failure to maintain proper safety signage, and issues with debris management. These violations, issued primarily to construction companies Adam Builder Corp and East Coast NY Construction, were mostly resolved by late 2019.

The building's environmental control board violations from 2019 included issues with stair fill maintenance, missing signs, and insurance compliance, though many of these resulted in zero penalties. Recent inspections in 2022 showed rat activity followed by a compliance pass, and the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) show no infestations, suggesting improved pest management. Despite these recurring issues, recent HPD inspections generally indicate that violations are being addressed, though some complaints remain unverified or unresolved.
