872 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 872 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Valdo Romero, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. As of 2025, there have been multiple sanitary concerns, including recent complaints of mold and water leaks in June 2025, as well as pest infestations reported in May 2025. These complaints consistently received HPD inspection attempts, though in some cases inspections were not completed.
A comprehensive inspection in September 2024 of apartment 3L revealed various issues, including problems with plaster surfaces, mold, window defects, and a reported bedbug infestation, though multiple violations for these conditions remain open. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing infrastructure challenges, with multiple HPD violations issued between 2024 and 2025 for various issues including electrical problems (no lighting), flooring concerns, and paint/plaster defects, particularly affecting common areas like the first-floor public hall. Three building-wide inspection failures for rodent control were recorded between 2016-2019, though recent reports indicate improved conditions.
The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding its overall maintenance, with violations issued for broken vestibule doors and inadequate lighting in 2024, along with historical concerns about electrical wiring and plumbing work in early 2025, though these investigations did not result in confirmed violations. Despite these issues, the building's documented bedbug reports show consistent zero counts for infestation and eradication between 2021 and 2025, suggesting successful management of this particular pest issue. A permit for plumbing work was issued in September 2018, indicating some level of infrastructure maintenance has been conducted.
