785 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 785 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Simon Klein and constructed in 1910, has a concerning pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements over the past several years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting. The building has received four consecutive violations (2021-2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with HPD, with each violation remaining open as of the most recent inspection in April 2024.

These recurring violations suggest persistent management oversight in addressing basic housing maintenance requirements. In terms of rodent control, the building's record shows a mix of outcomes, with the most recent inspection in January 2019 passing, following two previous passed inspections in 2018 and 2015.

However, there was a notable instance of rat activity documented during an initial inspection in November 2014, indicating that while the situation improved in subsequent years, there was at least one significant rodent issue within the past decade. The property has maintained its classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" building, which carries specific regulatory requirements for building maintenance and resident safety, and these records indicate both historical and ongoing challenges in meeting basic housing standards.
