123 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The two-family house at 123 Mac Dougal Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Alex Espinosa, is a 2-story building constructed in 1901. Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance issues and potential over-occupancy concerns. Between 2023 and 2024, multiple heat and hot water complaints were reported, with some requiring multiple tenant reports to prompt inspections.
The building has also faced issues with doors/windows, including a December 2023 violation for a broken locking assembly in Apartment 2, and the discovery of an apparently illegal SRO unit in the basement, prompting multiple violations in 2020 and 2024 related to improper occupancy, egress, and safety systems. Two recent complaints (August 2024) regarding garbage/recycling storage were inspected by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The property has experienced several significant safety and compliance issues, as shown by multiple Department of Buildings violations.
Most notably, four violations were issued in September 2024 regarding illegal occupancy and safety system deficiencies for an SRO unit on the first floor, including lack of required egress, sprinkler system, and fire alarm system, each carrying a $2500 penalty. Historical records from 2020 show previous illegal rooming unit violations in the basement with associated penalties. While recent inspections have generally resulted in passing rodent control checks, there have been multiple bedbug reports between 2022 and 2024 showing no infested units. The building's management has faced scrutiny for housing maintenance code compliance, with violations ranging from security (door locks) to life safety systems (carbon monoxide detectors).
