142 Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 7-unit, 3-story building at 142 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yehuda Cohen, has had a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its conversion. Most recently, in December 2024, the building experienced heat and hot water issues that led to complaints requiring HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four years (2021-2025), as evidenced by six consecutive bedbug reports showing zero affected units. Rodent inspections have generally been favorable, with the most recent three inspections in 2024-2025 all passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2023.

The building's only significant violation on record occurred in April 2021, regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings showing compliance. While the recent heat and hot water issue is concerning, it is important to note that this was an apparent system-wide problem affecting multiple units and not limited to any specific apartment, and the building has demonstrated good overall pest control measures and safety compliance in other areas. The property has been formally classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its status as a converted building with 7 residential units.
