420 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

420 Macon Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1889 and currently owned by John Mayers. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably in late 2021 when unauthorized construction work on the fourth floor prompted multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations related to safety and permit requirements.

These violations were resolved, though there were subsequent issues regarding the failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations in early 2022. The building has had three documented pest-related incidents, including a 2022 housing complaint about unsanitary conditions with pests that HPD couldn't inspect, and a 2021 indoor air quality complaint about dust from construction work. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a relatively stable record since early 2022.

Notably, all recent bedbug reports from 2022 through early 2025 show zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management. Rodent inspections conducted from 2018 through 2025 have all resulted in passing grades, suggesting good maintenance of sanitation standards. The property's current status appears significantly improved in terms of pest management and general maintenance, with no recent complaints or violations recorded since early 2022, and successful completion of regular rodent inspections.
