83 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story building at 83 Mac Dougal Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Patricia Sheares, has experienced recurring housing maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant pattern emerging around bedbug reporting requirements. From 2021 through 2024, the property has received multiple class A violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open.

Additionally, there is an open class C violation from April 2023 concerning defective self-closing doors at the building entrance, which represents a potential security concern. The building's violation history shows some positive developments; several earlier violations from 2018, including requirements to post various notices and maintain proper signage, were successfully closed by October 2018.

These included the need to display the building's registration number, provide housing information guides in English and Spanish, and post heating system contact information. On a positive note, recent rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 have all consistently passed, indicating no rodent issues, and a building complaint from July 2020 was inspected and found to have no warrant for violation. However, the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests ongoing administrative compliance challenges related to housing maintenance requirements.
