215 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

215 Mac Dougal Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Igor Buzhaker and constructed in 2006. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years that may affect resident safety and comfort.

Most recently, in 2024 and continuing into 2025, the building has open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, which are mandatory under NYC Housing Maintenance Code regulations. Prior to this, the building had a history of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, with complaints filed in July 2022 and subsequently closed in January 2023 after an HPD inspection found no violations, though these issues suggest potential maintenance concerns. The building's history also includes structural and regulatory challenges.

In 2021, there were reports of building shaking/vibrating issues and concerns about illegal hotel room usage, though these complaints were eventually closed. An environmental control board violation was issued in September 2021 regarding facade maintenance issues, specifically noting cracking between the 2nd and 3rd floors, though this violation was resolved with no penalties. Interestingly, during the 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period, the building reported no infested units, and while the bedbug report filings have generated violations, the building appears to have maintained some level of pest control during that period.
