723 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

723 Mac Donough Street is a 4-story, 26-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gregory Cohen and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage, with inspections in 2022 and 2025 finding unsanitary conditions according to HPD, though no violations were issued. There have also been three significant heat/hot water complaints in late 2018, including emergencies, with at least one resulting in violations.

The property has faced ongoing challenges with rodent infestations, particularly between 2016-2019, with several inspections showing rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2022 resulted in passing compliance results. More recent concerns include multiple active DOB violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2022-2023, with the most recent issued in September 2024 remaining active. However, the building's bedbug situation appears well-managed, with the most recent reports (as of December 2024) showing zero infested units in the previous filing periods.

The property received bedbug violation notices in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these appear to have been subsequently resolved, with no reported infestations in the most recent filings. The building's maintenance history reflects a mix of compliance and violations, with particular attention needed to the frequency of various complaints related to heat, garbage storage, and pest control. While the property has made progress in some areas, such as bedbug management, there are still active compliance issues with external inspections that require attention. The varied inspection results over the years suggest a building that has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in its older systems and pest control management.
