667 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement at 667 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Maurice Highland, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water, with three separate complaints filed between February 18-21, 2025, though heat and hot water were eventually confirmed to be restored during inspections. More recently, in March 2025, there were several service requests and violations related to building systems and amenities, including issues with a radiator, electrical outlets, various appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), and unsanitary conditions involving pests.

All these March 2025 complaints were investigated by HPD, though none were found to violate housing laws. The building has a history of maintenance challenges documented through housing code violations, particularly affecting apartment 2A in late 2024, including issues with a defective smoke detector, bathroom bathtub, wall paint, and refrigerator door gasket. In April 2024, there were violations noted in apartment 1A concerning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues.

The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, including the most recent inspection in June 2025, and has maintained a clean record with no documented bedbug infestations since 2022. The Department of Buildings received two complaints about building stability in 2018 and 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct evaluations in both cases. While the building has experienced various system and maintenance issues, recent inspections and services indicate ongoing management attention to these matters, with most violations being addressed and closed promptly.
