99 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

99 Macon Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Charlene Gayle. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years that may impact resident comfort and safety. Most notably, in 2023, there were violations related to boiler safety equipment and chimney maintenance, with penalties totaling over $4,400.

Earlier complaints from 2019-2021 reveal ongoing concerns with heat/hot water systems, plumbing issues, and multiple water leaks, particularly affecting basement apartment B2. This apartment also had various maintenance issues in 2018, including problems with plaster surfaces, carbon monoxide detectors, and mailbox security. The building's mechanical systems have come under scrutiny, with four active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020.

More recent issues include a 2023 complaint about poison ivy that was subsequently addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent filings indicating zero infested units, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, the history of water-related issues and mechanical system violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The owner has generally responded to violations, as indicated by closed status outcomes, though some complaints resulted from inspectors being unable to gain access for verification.
