533a Macon Street, Brooklyn

A 19th-century Bed-Stuy townhouse with long-term ownership, unfiled annual paperwork, and neighborhood commercial venting nearby.

A three-family Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouse built in 1882 that has remained with the same ownership for over two decades. Open code filings reflect administrative gaps rather than physical decay, but nearby commercial air quality and street noise carry lived-experience signals. Three things to know:

Open code violations are administrative paperwork rather than structural defects. Eight open housing violations sit against the house, split entirely between unfiled annual bedbug reports and missing owner registration statements. There are zero active physical repair orders or hazardous condition notices on file.

Surrounding commercial kitchen and air quality calls indicate local venting drift. Within three blocks, residents logged 12 food establishment complaints and 4 indoor air quality reports over the last year. These signals point to commercial kitchen or restaurant venting in the surrounding retail footprint, which can bleed into nearby living spaces depending on unit proximity.

The property has stayed under the same family ownership since 2004. The property last transferred in March 2004 for $433,000 and has not changed hands since. That points to a multi-decade hold rather than a short-term investor flip or frequent owner turnover.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 75 illegal-parking calls over the past year were mostly blocked hydrants and crosswalks.
• 69 residential noise reports within three blocks were dominated by loud music and parties.
