305 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

305 Macon Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Euclid Boyce and constructed in 1873. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2021 when multiple emergencies were reported including electrical problems, wall and ceiling plaster issues, and sanitary conditions involving pests.

Notably, in October 2021, Apartment 7 reported serious violations including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water damage causing ceiling leaks, and missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). Although some of these issues were addressed, the building has continued to face challenges with maintenance compliance. More recent violations indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly regarding the heating system and boiler inspections.

As of 2023, there are active violations related to boiler room access information and failure to file required external low pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2022, with a $500 penalty issued in May 2023 for improper heating system access signage. The building's record shows regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one from June 2024 passing without issues, and the bedbug reporting for the period 2022-2023 shows no infestations. While some improvements have been made, the pattern of repeated violations and the accumulation of active violations related to boiler and heating system compliance suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
