312 Mac Dougal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 312 Mac Dougal Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ivan Lopez, has a documented history stretching back to its 1907 construction. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, unsanitary conditions including pest issues, plumbing concerns, and maintenance matters affecting interior surfaces.

These issues led to several Housing Maintenance Code Violations being issued against Apartment 1L, specifically concerning electrical outlets, bell/ buzzer/intercom systems, heating issues, and various maintenance problems, though some violations were subsequently closed through compliance. More recently, in 2023, the building received a violation related to failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed two months later.

The building's more recent history shows some improvement in conditions, with the most recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) showing no infestations, and recent rodent inspections passing in 2020 and 2019, despite initial rat activity being noted in October 2019. Notable electrical and heating issues have persisted through 2020, with complaints about power outages in January 2020 and various electrical and heating maintenance issues recorded in 2018-2019. While many earlier violations and complaints have been addressed, several open violations from 2018 remain for Apartment 1L, including issues with paint, electrical outlets, and the bell/buzzer/intercom system.
