291 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, three-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 291 Mac Dougal Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ariel Sholomov and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2024, there were complaints about heating and hot water problems, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to access issues.
The building has faced recurring documentation requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to an annual bedbug report filing requirement, though the most recent July 2025 filing shows no reported infestations during the previous periods. The property has also experienced pest-related issues, with a non-emergency complaint about unsanitary conditions due to pests recorded in November 2021.
Historical records show an illegal conversion complaint from 2018 that could not be investigated due to access issues, while rodent inspections conducted in 2013 showed both initial and compliance failures, though more recent inspections in 2017 and 2018 resulted in passing grades. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heating complaints and the bedbug reporting requirements, which have persisted as a recurring compliance matter over multiple years. While some recent filings indicate no current infestations, the property's history suggests ongoing monitoring and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest-related documentation requirements.
