782 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 782 Mac Donough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aj Keirland, has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues over the past couple of years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2024, with three separate complaints filed between May and July of that year, though HPD was unable to gain access during inspections.

Additionally, there were issues with the porch/balcony in June 2024, and several maintenance matters in January 2024 including window guard safety concerns, window pane issues, and appliance problems, though no violations were found during inspections for these complaints. The building has a history of more serious concerns dating back to late 2021, when a complaint about illegal conversion was filed regarding a purportedly unauthorized Class "A" apartment in the cellar, including an unlawful gas range and kitchen sink. This resulted in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $6,250.

After this period, there were several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though more recent filings (2024 and 2023) indicate no infested units were present. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2018 through 2019, suggesting effective pest management during that period. While many recent complaints have been addressed promptly, the recurring nature of pest-related issues and the historical concerns about illegal conversion suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property.
