217 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 217 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Jlm Holdings Ny Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, in late 2021, there were emergency reports of mold and a slow water leak that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to inspect due to access issues, though these incidents were ultimately closed.

The building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule since at least 2022, with all recent reports (most recent in May 2025) indicating no infested or re-infested units. The property has undergone multiple renovation projects between 2018-2019, during which time several Department of Buildings violations were recorded, including issues with chimney height, floor openings, excessive debris, inadequate shoring, and permit posting requirements. These violations were generally resolved, though one related to failure to certify correction was dismissed in early 2020.

Rodent control has been a recurring concern, with inspections showing various levels of activity between 2016 and 2024. While recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024 passed, earlier inspections in 2018 and 2019 showed evidence of rat activity. The building's permit history from 2018-2019 shows multiple permits for alteration work, with the most recent permits dating from late 2019, suggesting that major renovation activity has stabilized in recent years.
