777 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 8-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 777 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher Bramwell, has a notable history of maintenance issues primarily related to heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water (both building-wide and in individual units), plumbing issues, and flooring concerns, all of which were closed by July 2025.

The building has experienced recurring problems with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in both 2018 and 2019, though inspections in 2018 found no violations related to the heat/hot water complaints. Other significant issues have included periods without lighting in 2019 (with HPD unable to gain access for inspection) and a cooking gas emergency in 2019. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2025 indicating no infestations during any reporting period.

The property has maintained rodent-free status, passing inspections in both January 2018 and January 2019. A bedbug-related violation was noted in March 2023 regarding the annual report filing requirement, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings from 2024 and 2025 show no infested units. The building's age (constructed in 1905) and classification as an OLD LAW TENEMENT are consistent with the type of maintenance challenges documented in the complaint history.
