Questions about this building

No. On October 10, 2026, 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn had no open HPD violations, counting every year, and no OATH/ECB summons issued in the last 3 years was still active.

Does 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued August 16, 1993. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Does 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued April 18, 2025. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When did 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On May 9, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

When was 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1882 as the year 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a two-family dwelling with 2 floors.

How many apartments does 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 2 residential units at 239 Madison Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
