862 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This four-story, eight-unit New Law Tenement building located at 862 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Claudette Henry, has experienced a series of maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most notably, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, along with issues related to water leaks and window frames. While some of these complaints were closed without violations being found, the presence of mold in an emergency complaint requires attention.

The building also has a documented history of heat and hot water outages, with complaints in 2019, 2020, and 2022, though in each instance, heat and hot water were reported to have been restored by the time of inspection. In terms of maintenance violations, the building has faced several issues requiring attention, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 noting the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though there have been no documented cases of infestations. Apartment 1A has been the subject of multiple violations, including mold issues in 2022, along with problems with doors, windows, and various repairs needed.

The building's rodent inspections show variable results, with instances of rat activity noted in 2022, though earlier inspections from 2018-2019 had passed. The property has maintained active bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, consistently showing zero infested units. While many of the recent complaints have been resolved or closed without violations, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly mold and pest complaints, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
