244A Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 244A Mac Dougal Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lesford Edmund and constructed in 2005, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing concern with pest control, as evidenced by open violations from 2019 related to rodent and cockroach infestations in Apartment 2, along with multiple previous complaints about pests in 2018-2019.

The building currently has open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports. Other significant issues have included water-related problems, with complaints about slow leaks in 2019, and various sanitary conditions including mold (2019) and electrical wiring concerns (2018). The property has documented multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019 specific to Apartment 2, including the need for color-appropriate ceiling paint in the bathroom, bathtub caulking repairs, and addressing door self-closing requirements.

Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent inspection in February 2020 showing compliance. While many of the previous complaints and violations have been addressed or closed, the persistence of bedbug report violations from 2021-2024 suggests ongoing challenges with meeting all housing maintenance requirements. The building's history indicates a pattern of moisture-related issues and pest management challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 2, though the exact current condition of these issues is not fully ascertainable from the available data up to October 2023.
