42 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
This three-unit, three-story brownstone, located at 42 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant and built in 1887, has experienced persistent housing maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug report compliance, with open Class A violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating a failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the New York City Housing Maintenance Code.
While these violations are administrative in nature, their frequency suggests potential gaps in pest management protocols. The property has faced significant rodent issues, particularly in 2024, when rat activity was confirmed in both March and April, leading to multiple bait applications during that period.
However, the situation appears to have improved, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 returning "Passed" results, suggesting successful remediation of the rodent problem. It's worth noting that during 2022-2023, the building generally maintained passing scores on initial rodent inspections, indicating that while the property has struggled with pest control compliance through required reporting and past rodent issues, recent efforts appear to have brought about some improvements in rodent management. The building is currently owned by Charles Willis Jr.
