734 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 734 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Katz Abraham and built in 1899, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, the property faced multiple violations including unsanitary conditions related to pests, garbage/storage issues, water leaks, and ceiling paint/plaster problems. These violations occurred primarily in Apartment 1 and included documented infestations of roaches and mice.

The building also has a history of compliance challenges, with violations recorded in 2023 related to broken window guards, flooring issues, and plumbing problems. The property has been subject to several Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work, notably in 2022 when construction work was performed without proper permits, leading to a $2,500 violation for tampering with a posted stop work order. These unauthorized modifications included the illegal construction of a rear porch using combustible materials.

While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvements. The annual bedbug reporting requirement has been met, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in the past two reporting periods, indicating effective pest management. The building's most recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to building systems and pest control.
