753 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

753 Macon Street is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1899 and currently owned by Derrick Afflick, this property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and heat/hot water problems.

During that period, the building received multiple violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), specifically in Apartment 1, related to inadequate heat supply and pest control issues, though it's noteworthy that not all inspections resulted in violations. The building underwent an illegal conversion investigation in September 2018, but access was denied during inspection attempts, resulting in a closed case.

More recently, the property has shown improved maintenance compliance, with rodent inspections conducted from 2012 through 2025 consistently passing, except for one failure in February 2012 for "other reasons." The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, indicating improved conditions since the 2018 issues. The building's history reveals a pattern of moisture-related problems from September to December 2018, with multiple complaints about mold and sanitary conditions, though many inspections during this period faced access issues or resulted in no violations. Since 2018, there have been no recorded complaints about heat/hot water problems or other significant issues, suggesting improved building maintenance over the past several years.
