371 Mac Donough Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

371 Mac Donough Street is a 4-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1892 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Macdonough Stuyvesant LLC. The property has experienced several significant issues, particularly during 2019, when there were multiple documented problems including recurring rat sightings (at least three incidents in September 2019) and numerous electrical issues including multiple power outage incidents and lighting failures that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building was also subject to multiple complaints regarding self-closing doors in 2023, with an open violation noted for a defective entrance door at Apartment 2FL, though other door-related violations from 2019 had been closed.

The building underwent various inspections between 2019-2025, with some concerning patterns noted. While the property achieved "Passed" status in rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, previous years showed rat activity, particularly in 2019. The building had an issue with unauthorized work in 2019 that resulted in a violation and a $1,250 penalty, though this was ultimately resolved.

More recently, in 2023, the building was cited for failure to file an annual bedbug report, though records indicate no reported infestations in the past seven years. The property underwent several permit processes in 2019, with various permits issued for work including plumbing and electrical modifications. The building's maintenance record shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, and the most recent rodent inspections have shown improvement in pest management.
