40 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
40 Macon Street is a 3-story, 5-unit Class A residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Carolyn Scott. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests in late 2023 that was closed without inspection access in April 2024.
In 2021, there were multiple plumbing-related incidents requiring HPD intervention, including issues with bathtubs/showers and basins/sinks, some categorized as emergency situations. The building has faced various violations and compliance requirements, including a currently active violation from June 2023 for failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection, and a bedbug reporting violation from February 2022.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in March 2025, September 2024, and March 2023 all passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in March 2023 and September 2022. In 2021, several violations related to safety and building maintenance were recorded, including issues with self-closing doors (both at the front entrance and in apartment 2R), carbon monoxide detector requirements, and various posting requirements related to gas leak procedures and housing information. While the building has had several maintenance issues requiring attention, recent inspections suggest improvements in pest control and rodent management, with consistent bedbug-free reporting in recent years and multiple pass results in rodent inspections.
