779 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
779 Mac Donough Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Macbain Dev LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple building-wide complaints filed between January 2024 and February 2025, several of which resulted in HPD violations. These violations indicate inadequate heat supply and excessive hot water temperatures in various apartments.
The building has also faced plumbing challenges, including toilet issues in April 2024, and electrical problems with lighting in January 2024. Recent inspections from 2023-2024 revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 3 regarding roof leaks and ceiling plaster conditions, while Apartment 2 has documented violations related to ceiling repair and bathroom ceiling issues. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly in the first half of 2024, with multiple emergency complaints and violations.
However, there have been no reports of bedbug infestations or reinfestations in the last five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, and the property passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019. While some heat and hot water complaints have been resolved through inspections, the building's systems appear to require ongoing attention, as evidenced by the pattern of repeated complaints and violations. The most recent heating system complaints from early 2025 suggest these issues are continuing into the current year.
