214 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

214 Mac Dougal Street is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Cheryl Ighodaro. The property has experienced persistent water issues, with multiple complaints about heavy flow and slow leaks documented between January and May 2025, warranting emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024, when there were complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Inspections from 2023-2024 revealed various violations requiring attention, including an active violation regarding a shared retaining wall with 141 Hull Street that poses a fall hazard, and multiple open violations related to building maintenance in common areas, such as painting requirements and fire safety systems.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with individual apartments, particularly units A5 and C1, which have faced problems with plumbing, window functionality, and other maintenance needs. While the building has undergone rodent inspections in 2018, 2020, and 2022 with passing results, it experienced a concerning infestation situation in 2023 with documented mice issues in Apartment A5 in August 2023, though this violation was subsequently closed. On a positive note, the property has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations according to the official reporting system, with consistent reporting of eradication efforts showing no infested units since at least 2021.
