291 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 291 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Andra Barrow, has a notable history of maintenance compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations (2021-2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code Section HMC.

While these violations are administrative in nature, they indicate ongoing challenges with compliance to housing regulations. The building's exterior safety features have also been a concern; in 2019, a Class B violation was recorded for inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, though this appears to have been addressed given the absence of subsequent violations in this category. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with generally positive results.

Notably, while there was recorded rat activity in May 2023, the most recent inspection in June 2024 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting improvements in pest management. The building's age (built in 1873) and previous conversion from Class B status are standard for the neighborhood, and apart from these documented issues, no other significant violations or complaints are on record for this property. The persistent nature of the bedbug report violations, occurring annually despite multiple notices, represents the most significant pattern of non-compliance in the building's recent history.
