519 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, five-unit building at 519 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Amarel Wenkert and constructed in 1890, has experienced recurring regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has remaining open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for four consecutive years between 2021 and 2024.

These ongoing violations, while not indicating an active bedbug infestation, suggest ongoing administrative compliance challenges. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated satisfactory performance on rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing successfully, as have inspections in May 2024 and previous years.

Historical records show a single instance of rat activity in June 2010, which appears to have been resolved promptly, as subsequent rodent inspections in September 2010 and beyond have consistently passed. The building's age and history of bedbug report violations are notable, though it's important to emphasize that these violations pertain to reporting requirements rather than direct impacts on resident comfort or safety.
