363 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, four-unit building at 363 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Pinchos Jager, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The property, constructed in 1873, has shown persistent problems with heating systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building throughout June 2025. There have also been recurring sanitation concerns, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, particularly involving rodent activity, which has required multiple baiting inspections and compliance checks in 2024 and 2025.

Safety violations have included problematic fire escapes and emergency doors, with one egress-related violation resulting in an Oath violation in July 2024, and historical issues with electrical wiring and exposed elements. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including a cluster of emergency housing maintenance code complaints in June 2025 related to heating, electrical lighting, and door security. Inspection records from 2024 indicate multiple violations requiring attention to stairway ballistrades, water leaks, and fire safety issues, particularly concerning self-closing doors.

The Department of Buildings has documented multiple complaints regarding construction work and building stability concerns, including a partial vacate order in September 2023 related to building shaking. Recent pest control efforts have been documented through rodent inspections and bait applications, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing active rodent activity. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to multiple reports from 2021 through 2024, the persistence of other maintenance and safety issues remains notable.
