778 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The property at 778 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant is a 3-story, 3-unit building constructed in 2005, with current ownership records showing Mark Halpern as the proprietor. In recent months (2025), there have been multiple rodent-related complaints, with three documented rat sightings between January and March 2025, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene resulted in no violations.

The building has demonstrated a consistent ability to pass rodent inspections, with all follow-up visits in 2025 and earlier years showing compliance. The building experienced significant heating system issues in January 2022, with multiple tenant complaints about lack of heat and hot water. While some complaints were marked as duplicate reports, they collectively indicate a period of inadequate heating during winter.

The property has been found to have unsanitary conditions with pest complaints in 2024, though HPD inspections resulted in no violations. Previous records from 2018 show various issues, including electrical outages, cooking gas problems, and significant Building Department violations regarding illegal occupancy of the cellar space, unauthorized plumbing work, and improper gas line installations - all of which were ultimately resolved. The building's Bedbug Reporting record shows consistent compliance from 2021 through 2024, with no identified infestations during these periods.
