The three-unit, two-story brownstone at 166 Macon Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by William Yeung and built in 1899, has shown a concerning pattern of rodent activity over the past two years, though recent inspections indicate improvement. Between May 2022 and 2023, the building consistently passed rodent inspections, maintaining a clean record for over a year. However, in 2024, there were two instances of rat activity detected in May and November, with the building successfully passing subsequent compliance inspections in both cases. Most recently, in 2025, the property passed its June rodent inspection, which suggests improved conditions.
The building has experienced two significant Department of Buildings complaints in recent years. In September 2021, there was a complaint regarding work being performed without the proper permits in the occupied multiple dwelling, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their second final attempt. More recently, in July 2024, there was a complaint about a missing permit, but this was resolved quickly within two weeks, with the August 1 inspection finding no violations at the time. While the building has had its share of issues, particularly regarding rodent activity and permit compliance, the most recent inspections suggest some improvement in both building conditions and regulatory compliance.
