676 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-unit building at 676 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Evelyn Jacobs, has a documented history of maintenance compliance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating a persistent failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

This recurring violation raises concerns about the building's pest management practices. In terms of rodent inspection results, the building has shown inconsistent performance. The most recent inspection in June 2025 revealed rat activity, while the previous year's inspection in June 2024 passed.

The building had maintained a generally satisfactory record from 2020 through 2023, with several passed inspections, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" during an initial inspection in October 2017. Of particular note is the building's age (126 years old as of 2025), its classification as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" building, and its relatively small size of two stories. The persistent bedbug reporting violations and the recent rat activity in 2025 are the most significant concerns in the building's recent history, while the rodent inspection patterns suggest varying levels of pest management effectiveness over the years.
