117 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, four-unit building at 117 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Joseph Anscher, was constructed in 1894 and has undergone conversion to Class A status. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past five years, with the most recent rat sighting reported in July 2023.

While this complaint was initially concerning, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed subsequent rodent inspections through 2025, including an initial inspection in July 2023 where rat activity was documented. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has recorded multiple rodent complaints between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent complaint in July 2023 being closed due to earlier complaints on record.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years (2019-2025), as evidenced by yearly bedbug reports showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property underwent several permitted work projects between 2018-2019, with multiple issued permits including work classified as "EW" (presumably relating to exterior work) and one "PL" permit (likely plumbing-related), all of which were properly documented and issued through the Department of Buildings. The building's overall maintenance record suggests attention to both rodent control and general upkeep, with regular inspections and prompt responses to reported issues, though the periodic rodent sightings remain a notable pattern in the building's history.
