748 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 748 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher Bramwell, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with varying degrees of resolution. Most recently, in June 2025, there was an appliance-related issue with an electric/gas range that resulted in violations being issued by HPD. Between 2024-2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with a bell/buzzer/intercom system, plumbing fixtures (basins/sinks, bathtub/shower), door/window issues, flooring, and cabinets.

Notably, in April-May 2024, there were several complaints that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. The building experienced some infrastructure challenges in 2021, primarily affecting Apartment 1R, including door self-closing mechanisms, plumbing fixtures, and baseboard coverage, though these violations were eventually certified as corrected. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2018 showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation.

Additionally, rodent inspections conducted between 2017-2019 consistently passed, indicating no significant rodent problems. A series of violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements were issued in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been resolved with subsequent filings showing no infestation. The most recent building permit on record was issued in October 2018 for electrical work. While the building has faced multiple maintenance issues, particularly with plumbing and hardware systems, the owner has generally addressed violations once cited, as evidenced by their closure status.
