543 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
543 Marcy Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2017 and currently owned by Yoel Shafer. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in late 2023 involving unsanitary conditions, including mold and sewage problems, though no violations were ultimately issued by HPD. Between 2018-2019, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, three of which were classified as emergencies, with one incident in February 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the units for verification.
The building faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2018 related to safety notice requirements, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, though these were certified as corrected in March 2023. A violation was also recorded in 2021 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, showing some concerns with rat activity in 2023-2024, though it passed inspections in 2022-2023 and most recently in June 2025.
The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2025 shows no documented infestations, with all reporting periods showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. An environmental violation from 2018 regarding excavation notification was resolved with a $1,200 penalty, and there was a complaint about excessive debris in 2019 that was found to have no violations upon inspection. While the building has demonstrated compliance with many housing regulations, the pattern of heat/hot water issues and recent plumbing concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent rodent control efforts appear to be improving based on the most recent inspections.
