Augrented Insights Report for 401 Macon Street

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 401 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aron Fromowitz, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2023-2025 consistently indicating rat activity, including recent inspections in May and June 2025 showing continued pest problems. The building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.

More recently, there has been an open complaint regarding construction lead dust entering apartments from April 2024. The property has also shown persistent maintenance challenges, including a variety of housing code violations. Notable issues from 2023-2024 include problems with garbage/recycling storage (April 2024), flooring/stairs (November 2023), multiple water leaks (including a slow leak reported in December 2023), and various plumbing and electrical issues. The building's violation history reveals several pressing concerns, including multiple active violations for not submitting required Low Pressure Inspection reports between 2018-2025, and a 2020 violation regarding building facade maintenance that remains active with a penalty of $1,250.

There were also several work-related violations in 2022 related to electrical installations and equipment that were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations through its annual reporting periods from 2020-2024. While many past violations and complaints show as resolved, the frequent recurrence of rodent issues, heat/hot water access problems, and the presence of active violations as of 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has received multiple permits throughout 2022-2024 for various work, indicating ongoing maintenance and repair activities.
