314 Mac Dougal Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1907 and owned by Jacob Leifer. The building has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns around heating, electrical systems, and pest control. In 2025 alone, there were documented power outages and heating problems affecting the entire building, following several similar complaints in 2024.
The property has an active rat infestation problem, with multiple rodent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, and previous inspections in 2022-2024 consistently revealing similar issues. Violations related to building safety equipment were issued in September 2024, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors in Apartments 1L and 1R, and defective self-closing doors in multiple locations, including the boiler room. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with basic services and infrastructure.

The property has an outstanding pattern of failure to file mandatory boiler inspections between 2018-2023, with violations still active as of 2023. While bedbug reports have consistently shown zero infestations since 2020, the building's overall maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure.
