692 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement at 692 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ann Blackwell Blackwell, was constructed in 1910 and has a mixed record of maintenance compliance over the past several years. Notably, the building has consistently failed to submit its mandatory annual bedbug reports to HPD from 2021 through at least 2024, as indicated by four open class A violations related to this requirement.

These bedbug report violations represent significant non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements over multiple years. The building also has an open class B violation from 2003 concerning inadequate lighting at or near the front entranceway, which requires 100 watts to be maintained from sunset to sunrise.

On a more positive note, recent inspections have shown successful compliance with rodent control measures, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2022, 2020, and 2017, demonstrating effective pest management over the past eight years. This follows a pattern where the building passed all subsequent rodent inspections after an initial failure in June 2013. While the property has maintained satisfactory rodent control, the recurring bedbug report violations and the long-standing entrance lighting issue represent areas of concern regarding overall building maintenance and safety compliance, with particular attention needed to address the pattern of bedbug report non-compliance.
